A valid point.

Also, the fix is half-way there, it does not have OOM
check for scratch.

I.e. I'd change the declaration as:

        u8 *scratch;

And later on after declarations:

        scratch = kmalloc(SCRATCH_SIZE, GFP_KERNEL);
        if (!scratch)
                return -ENOMEM;

I.e.

        kfree(scratch);
        return work1 - payload->blob;

err:
        kfree(scratch);
        return ret;
