In the original review (D36869), @hselasky said:

Are we missing any n * size overflow checks?

In a reply to his comment, I replied with the following questions:

What is the usual behavior to react to such overflow? Fail and return NULL? Panic?

If you know of an example in the kernel, could you please share it?

Linux returns NULL on overflow.

Thank you @hselasky and @emaste! I updated the patch to check overflow.
