Yeah so I had this concern for devm_krealloc() and even sent a patch that extended it to honor __GFP_ZERO before I noticed that regular krealloc() silently ignores __GFP_ZERO. I'm not sure if this is on purpose. Maybe we should either make krealloc() honor __GFP_ZERO or explicitly state in its documentation that it ignores it?
And my voice here is to ignore for the same reasons: respect realloc(3) and making common sense with the idea of REallocating (capital letters on purpose).
