From: Kees Cook <[email protected]> In preparation for making the devm_kmalloc family of allocators type aware, we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation matches the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator would always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any pointer type.)
The assigned type is "const char **", but the converted allocation type would be "const char * const *", as the size was taken from "*func->groups", whose type "const char * const" is const qualified. As there is no general way to remove const qualifiers, take the size from the assignment target instead. No change in allocation size results.
