Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] devres: Provide krealloc_array

Changes since v1:

* Style fix

-----------------------

Hi,

I had a use for a devm realloc_array in a separate change, so I've
added one and updated all the obvious existing uses of it that I could
find. This is basically a copy paste of the one in slab.h

Applies to v6.3-rc1

Thanks
James

There is no krealloc_array equivalent in devres. Users would have to
do their own multiplication overflow check so provide one.

Trivial comment inline, but otherwise seems reasonable to me.

For consistency with krealloc_array and other stuff in device.h that is
of similar 'shape' add a blank line here.

Hmm. I've stared at the users of this for a bit, and it's not actually obvious
that it's being used as an array of u32. The only typed user of this is as
the 2nd parameter of
tty_insert_flip_string() which is an unsigned char *

I wonder if that sizeof(u32) isn't a 'correct' description of where the 4 is coming
from even if it has the right value? Perhaps the fifo depth is just a multiple of 4?

The commit that added it (b8caf69a6946) seems to hint that something
reads from it in words. And I see this:

/* We always configure 4 bytes per FIFO word */
#define BYTES_PER_FIFO_WORD 4U

Perhaps sizeof(u32) isn't as accurate of a description as using
BYTES_PER_FIFO_WORD but I'd be reluctant to make a change because I
don't really understand the implications.

There is also this in handle_rx_console():

unsigned char buf[sizeof(u32)];

Agreed with your analysis. + fully understand why you don't want to change
it.

I'd be tempted to take the view that whilst it's allocated in 4 byte chunks
because it's accessed elsewhere as a set of 1 byte entries, krealloc_array
isn't appropriate and so just leave it with devm_krealloc()

Risk is that a steady stream of patches will turn up 'fixing' this as
it will be easy for people to find with a script. Maybe better to just add
a comment (either with or without your patch).
