<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 *".

Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
 "Core &amp; protocols:

   - A significant effort all around the stack to guide the compiler to
     make the right choice when inlining code, to avoid unneeded calls
     for small helper and stack canary overhead in the fast-path.

     This generates better and faster code with very small or no text
     size increases, as in many cases the call generated more code than
     the actual inlined helper.

   - Extend AccECN implementation so that is now functionally complete,
     also allow the user-space enabling it on a per network namespace
     basis.

   - Add support for memory providers with large (above 4K) rx buffer.
     Paired with hw-gro, larger rx buffer sizes reduce the number of
     buffers traversing the stack, dincreasing single stream CPU usage
     by up to ~30%.

   - Do not add HBH header to Big TCP GSO packets. This simplifies the
     RX path, the TX path and the NIC drivers, and is possible because
     user-space taps can now interpret correctly such packets without
     the HBH hint.

   - Allow IPv6 routes to be configured with a gateway address that is
     resolved out of a different interface than the one specified,
     aligning IPv6 to IPv4 behavior.

   - Multi-queue aware sch_cake. This makes it possible to scale the
     rate shaper of sch_cake across multiple CPUs, while still enforcing
     a single global rate on the interface.

   - Add support for the nbcon (new buffer console) infrastructure to
     netconsole, enabling lock-free, priority-based console operations
     that are safer in crash scenarios.

   - Improve the TCP ipv6 output path to cache the flow information,
     saving cpu cycles, reducing cache line misses and stack use.

   - Improve netfilter packet tracker to resolve clashes for most
     protocols, avoiding unneeded drops on rare occasions.

   - Add IP6IP6 tunneling acceleration to the flowtable infrastructure.

   - Reduce tcp socket size by one cache line.

   - Notify neighbour changes atomically, avoiding inconsistencies
     between the notification sequence and the actual states sequence.

   - Add vsock namespace support, allowing complete isolation of vsocks
     across different network namespaces.

   - Improve xsk generic performances with cache-alignment-oriented
     optimizations.

   - Support netconsole automatic target recovery, allowing netconsole
     to reestablish targets when underlying low-level interface comes
     back online.

  Driver API:

   - Support for switching the working mode (automatic vs manual) of a
     DPLL device via netlink.

   - Introduce PHY ports representation to expose multiple front-facing
     media ports over a single MAC.

   - Introduce "rx-polarity" and "tx-polarity" device tree properties,
     to generalize polarity inversion requirements for differential
     signaling.

   - Add helper to create, prepare and enable managed clocks.

  Device drivers:

   - Add Huawei hinic3 PF etherner driver.

   - Add DWMAC glue driver for Motorcomm YT6801 PCIe ethernet
     controller.

   - Add ethernet driver for MaxLinear MxL862xx switches

   - Remove parallel-port Ethernet driver.

   - Convert existing driver timestamp configuration reporting to
     hwtstamp_get and remove legacy ioctl().

   - Convert existing drivers to .get_rx_ring_count(), simplifing the RX
     ring count retrieval. Also remove the legacy fallback path.

<title>Bluetooth: btintel_pcie: Use IRQF_ONESHOT and default primary handler</title>

<id>urn:sha1:28abed6569c87eab9071ab56c64433c2f0d9ce51</id>
<content type='text'>
There is no added value in btintel_pcie_msix_isr() compared to
irq_default_primary_handler().

Using a threaded interrupt without a dedicated primary handler mandates
the IRQF_ONESHOT flag to mask the interrupt source while the threaded
handler is active. Otherwise the interrupt can fire again before the
threaded handler had a chance to run.

Use the default primary interrupt handler by specifying NULL and set
IRQF_ONESHOT so the interrupt source is masked until the secondary
handler is done.

so an explicit check before calling it is redundant and can be removed.

Due to a hardware bug during suspend/resume, the controller may miss a
doorbell interrupt. To address this, a retry mechanism has been added to
inform the controller before reporting a failure.

Test case:
- run suspend and resume cycles.

<id>urn:sha1:057b6ca5961203f16a2a02fb0592661a7a959a84</id>
<content type='text'>
In the current btintel_pcie driver implementation, when an interrupt is
received, the driver checks for the alive cause before the TX/RX cause.
Handling the alive cause involves resetting the TX/RX queue indices.
This flow works correctly when the causes are mutually exclusive.
However, if both cause bits are set simultaneously, the alive cause
resets the queue indices, resulting in an event packet drop and a
command timeout. To fix this issue, the driver is modified to handle all
other causes before checking for the alive cause.

Test case:
Issue is seen with stress reboot scenario - 50x run
