Nope.

There's also remaining issues with the code, that patch isn't enough.
The structure that is krealloced() has a list_head in it, but the list
isn't moved from the old head to the new one. There's no safe way to
do that using krealloc, since the old list_head is gone by then, so
it's probably easest to open-code with kzalloc/memcpy/kfree.

But even with that fixed, I still see the same issue. Boggle.

(Btw, I'm testing on top of commit 5106b92f80a2cd37c52cffed80b4f5acfb77ccfd).
