<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>
<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>drbd: turn bitmap I/O comments into regular block comments</title>

W=1 build warns because the bitmap I/O comments use '/**', which
marks them as kernel-doc comments even though these functions do not
document an external API.

Convert these comments to regular block comments so kernel-doc no
longer parses them.

<title>drbd: use __bio_add_page to add page to bio</title>

<content type='text'>
The drbd code only adds a single page to a newly created bio. So use
__bio_add_page() to add the page which is guaranteed to succeed in this
case.

This brings us closer to marking bio_add_page() as __must_check.

Pass a peer device parameter through the bitmap I/O functions to the I/O
handlers.  In after_state_ch(), set that parameter when queuing the
drbd_send_bitmap operation so that this operation knows where to send the
bitmap.

DRBD currently has a mix of GPL-2.0 and GPL-2.0-or-later SPDX license
identifiers. We have decided to stick with GPL 2.0 only, so consistently
use that identifier.

<title>drbd: bm_page_async_io: fix spurious bitmap "IO error" on large volumes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6675700139a0f642097c1166b2f958b2e5439c57</id>
<content type='text'>
We usually do all our bitmap IO in units of PAGE_SIZE.

With very small or oddly sized external meta data, or with
PAGE_SIZE != 4k, it can happen that our last on-disk bitmap page
is not fully PAGE_SIZE aligned, so we may need to adjust the size
of the IO.

We used to do that with
  min_t(unsigned int, PAGE_SIZE,
	last_allowed_sector - current_offset);
And for just the right diff, (unsigned int)(diff) will result in 0.

A bio of length 0 will correctly be rejected with an IO error
(and some scary WARN_ON_ONCE()) by the scsi layer.

Do the calculation properly.

that represent a request operation and the new blk_opf_t type for
variables that represent request flags.
