Don't you mean NUL terminated?
Do all callers really validate that it's NUL terminated?

what's the point of this kstrndup then? why not just kstrdup?

We are re-reading the string like 3 times here.

Given everyone seems to repeat this check, how about passing
in count and doing the validation in the helper?
We will then also avoid the need to do strlen and strchr.
