mempool_destroy has taken the null pointer into account. So it is safe
to remove the null check.

<title>block drivers/block: Use octal not symbolic permissions</title>

<content type='text'>
Convert the S_&lt;FOO&gt; symbolic permissions to their octal equivalents as
using octal and not symbolic permissions is preferred by many as more
readable.

see: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/8/2/1945

Done with automated conversion via:
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -f --types=SYMBOLIC_PERMS --fix-inplace &lt;files...&gt;

Miscellanea:

o Wrapped modified multi-line calls to a single line where appropriate
o Realign modified multi-line calls to open parenthesis

<title>aoe: use ktime_t instead of timeval</title>

<id>urn:sha1:85cf955df8317bbc513663b5610979fdd6a0da2a</id>
<content type='text'>
'struct frame' uses two variables to store the sent timestamp - 'struct
timeval' and jiffies. jiffies is used to avoid discrepancies caused by
updates to system time. 'struct timeval' is deprecated because it uses
32-bit representation for seconds which will overflow in year 2038.

This patch does the following:
- Replace the use of 'struct timeval' and jiffies with ktime_t, which
  is the recommended type for timestamping
- ktime_t provides both long range (like jiffies) and high resolution
  (like timeval). Using ktime_get (monotonic time) instead of wall-clock
  time prevents any discprepancies caused by updates to system time.

[updates by Arnd below]
The original patch from Tina never went anywhere as we discussed how
to keep the impact on performance minimal. I've started over now but
arrived at basically the same patch that she had originally, except for
an slightly improved tsince_hr() function. I'm making it more robust
against overflows, and also optimize explicitly for the common case
in which a frame is less than 4.2 seconds old, using only a 32-bit
division in that case.

This should make the new version more efficient than the old code,
since we replace the existing two 32-bit division in do_gettimeofday()
plus one multiplication with a single single 32-bit division in
tsince_hr() and drop the double bookkeeping. It's also more efficient
than the ktime_get_us() API we discussed before, since that would
also rely on multiple divisions.

<title>treewide: Remove TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE casts</title>

<id>urn:sha1:841b86f3289dbe858daeceec36423d4ea286fac2</id>
<content type='text'>
With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype
switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed,
so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts:

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_FUNC_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

    perl -pi -e 's|\(TIMER_DATA_TYPE\)||g' \
        $(git grep TIMER_DATA_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u)

The now unused macros are also dropped from include/linux/timer.h.

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to

to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

<content type='text'>
In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer()
to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

This refactors the discover_timer to remove the needless locking and
state machine used for synchronizing timer death. Using del_timer_sync()
will already do the right thing.

Instead move it to the callers.  Those that either don't use bio_data() or
page_address() or are specific to architectures that do not support highmem
are skipped.

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
proper blk_status_t value.
