include/linux/slab.h: add kmalloc_array_node() and kcalloc_node()
Patch series "Add kmalloc_array_node() and kcalloc_node()". Our current memeory allocation routines suffer form an API imbalance, for one we have kmalloc_array() and kcalloc() which check for overflows in size multiplication and we have kmalloc_node() and kzalloc_node() which allow for memory allocation on a certain NUMA node but don't check for eventual overflows. This patch (of 6): We have kmalloc_array() and kcalloc() wrappers on top of kmalloc() which ensure us overflow free multiplication for the size of a memory allocation but these implementations are not NUMA-aware. Likewise we have kmalloc_node() which is a NUMA-aware version of kmalloc() but the implementation is not aware of any possible overflows in eventual size calculations. Introduce a combination of the two above cases to have a NUMA-node aware version of kmalloc_array() and kcalloc().
