[ Upstream commit 746f1b0ac5bf6ecfb71674af210ae476aa714f46 ] 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 array_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the argument "count * size" in the vzalloc() function. Also, take the opportunity to add a flexible array member of struct vm_memory_region_op to the vm_memory_region_batch structure. And then, change the code accordingly and use the struct_size() helper to do the arithmetic instead of the argument "size + size * count" in the kzalloc function. This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle and audited and fixed manually.

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.
