Hi Matti

A few comments on specific parts of this below

Thanks,

I'm not particularly keen in a partial application of __free magic.

Perhaps you can use a local variable for this and a no_free_ptr() to assign it after we know
there can't be an error that requires it to be freed.

array_size is documented as being for 2D arrays, not an array of a multi byte
type.  We should not use it for this purpose.

I'd be tempted to not worry about overflow, but if you do want to be sure then
copy what kcalloc does and use a check_mul_overflow()

You don't have to tidy that up in this patch though.

Hmm. I guess this wrapper exists because perhaps you aren't comfortable
yet with the __free() handling mid function.  It does not harm so I'm fine
having this.
