This is a stab at providing three new helpers for allocation size calculation: struct_size(), array_size(), and array3_size(). These are implemented on top of Rasmus's overflow checking functions. The existing allocators are adjusted to use the more efficient overflow checks as well. I have left out the 8 tree-wide conversion patches of open-coded multiplications into the new helpers, as those are largely unchanged from v1. Everything can be seen here, though: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux.git/log/?h=kspp/overflow/array_size The question remains for what to do with the *calloc() and *_array*() API. They could be entirely removed in favor of using the new helpers: kcalloc(n, size, gfp) -> kzalloc(array_size(n, size), gfp) kmalloc_array(n, size, gfp) -> kmalloc(array_size(n, size), gfp) Changes from v1: - use explicit overflow helpers instead of array_size() helpers. - drop early-checks for SIZE_MAX. - protect devm_kmalloc()-family from addition overflow. - added missing overflow.h includes. - fixed 0-day issues in a few treewide manual conversions -Kees
