I imagine that there are chances to improve the software situation a bit more,

The discussed function implementation contains update candidates.

One of them was detected by the execution of a script for the semantic patch
language (Coccinelle software).
I identified further update possibilities after the opportunity for using
the function "kmalloc_array" also in this software module.
