Currently there's no allocations in there that should be able to fail.
But actually marking these KM_MAYFAIL would be a good idea.

Please check for iclog beeing NULL before trying to allocate the buffer,
and switch it to KM_MAYFAIL.  Given that there are two failing cases now
it would make sense to have goto-unwinding here.

Also once you touch the memory allocation feel free to remove the
useless casts of their return values.

How is this related to the rest of the patch?
