g_realloc() returns NULL iff zero bytes are requested. Covscan therefore
reports a possible NULL pointer dereference, however, this is not
applicable here, as nb_clusters is guaranteed to be non-zero.

In order to (hopefully) silence covscan, assert that the result of
g_realloc() is truly non-NULL.

output.

Please use a model like scripts/coverity-model.c to silence this and other errors.
