    mm: slab: clarify krealloc()'s behavior with __GFP_ZERO · 15d5de49
    Bartosz Golaszewski authored
    Patch series "slab: provide and use krealloc_array()", v3.
    
    Andy brought to my attention the fact that users allocating an array of
    equally sized elements should check if the size multiplication doesn't
    overflow.  This is why we have helpers like kmalloc_array().
    
    However we don't have krealloc_array() equivalent and there are many users
    who do their own multiplication when calling krealloc() for arrays.
    
    This series provides krealloc_array() and uses it in a couple places.
    
    A separate series will follow adding devm_krealloc_array() which is needed
    in the xilinx adc driver.
    
    This patch (of 9):
    
    __GFP_ZERO is ignored by krealloc() (unless we fall-back to kmalloc()
    path, in which case it's honored).  Point that out in the kerneldoc.
