6.7-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Erick Archer <erick.archer@xxxxxxx> commit 1057066009c4325bb1d8430c9274894d0860e7c3 upstream. As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar) function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors. So, use the purpose specific kcalloc() function instead of the argument size * count in the kzalloc() function.
