Missed blank line?

There is no blank line after the definitions of devm_kzalloc(), devm_kmalloc_array() and devm_kcalloc() defined just above.


+static inline void *devm_krealloc_array(struct device *dev,
+ void *p,
+ size_t new_n,
+ size_t new_size,
+ gfp_t flags)
+{
+ size_t bytes;
+
+ if (unlikely(check_mul_overflow(new_n, new_size, &bytes)))
+ return NULL;
I'm not sure it is what we want, but I have read the man realloc and found this:

... reallocarray() fails safely in the case where the multiplication
would overflow. If such an overflow occurs, reallocarray() returns NULL,
sets errno to ENOMEM, and leaves the original block of memory
unchanged.

So, perhaps you can add that this behaviour mimics reallocarray()?

except for the errno part, that is what is does. I don't think we should use ERR_PTR in this case as the other allocation functions don't use it.


+ return devm_krealloc(dev, p, bytes, flags);
+}
