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.
