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?

sys/compat/linuxkpi/common/include/linux/slab.h
184

Linux returns NULL on overflow.

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