Jakub Kicinski d9b1a5a60a Merge branch 'use-vmalloc_array-and-vcalloc'
Julia Lawall says:

====================
use vmalloc_array and vcalloc

The functions vmalloc_array and vcalloc were introduced in

commit a8749a35c3 ("mm: vmalloc: introduce array allocation functions")

but are not used much yet.  This series introduces uses of
these functions, to protect against multiplication overflows.

The changes were done using the following Coccinelle semantic
patch.

@initialize:ocaml@
@@

let rename alloc =
  match alloc with
    "vmalloc" -> "vmalloc_array"
  | "vzalloc" -> "vcalloc"
  | _ -> failwith "unknown"

@@
    size_t e1,e2;
    constant C1, C2;
    expression E1, E2, COUNT, x1, x2, x3;
    typedef u8;
    typedef __u8;
    type t = {u8,__u8,char,unsigned char};
    identifier alloc = {vmalloc,vzalloc};
    fresh identifier realloc = script:ocaml(alloc) { rename alloc };
@@

      alloc(x1*x2*x3)

      alloc(C1 * C2)

      alloc((sizeof(t)) * (COUNT), ...)
|
-     alloc((e1) * (e2))
+     realloc(e1, e2)
|
-     alloc((e1) * (COUNT))
+     realloc(COUNT, e1)
|
-     alloc((E1) * (E2))
+     realloc(E1, E2)
)

v2: This series uses vmalloc_array and vcalloc instead of
array_size.  It also leaves a multiplication of a constant by a
sizeof as is.  Two patches are thus dropped from the series.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
