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().
