Yeah, but in all cases the whole buffers are less than a page and hence instead
of doing that the preferred way is to switch to use kcalloc() in all three
places.

So you should have something like

		x = kcalloc(count, sizeof(*...), ...);
		if (!x)
			...handle error...

		while (count--) {
			...
		}
		...
err:
		list_for_each... {
			...
		}
		kfree(x);
