<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 *".

Note: All HID drivers that had explicit entries in the MAINTAINERS
file were fixed individually. This patch fixes all remaining HID
drivers that fall under the generic "HID CORE LAYER" entry in the
MAINTAINERS file.  Almost all descriptions were taken from the header
comment in each file.

<title>HID: Fix assumption that devices have inputs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d9d4b1e46d9543a82c23f6df03f4ad697dab361b</id>
<content type='text'>
The syzbot fuzzer found a slab-out-of-bounds write bug in the hid-gaff
driver.  The problem is caused by the driver's assumption that the
device must have an input report.  While this will be true for all
normal HID input devices, a suitably malicious device can violate the
assumption.

The same assumption is present in over a dozen other HID drivers.
This patch fixes them by checking that the list of hid_inputs for the
hid_device is nonempty before allowing it to be used.

<title>HID: use hid_hw_request() instead of direct call to usbhid</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d881427253da011495f4193663d809d0e9dfa215</id>
<content type='text'>
This allows the hid drivers to be independent from the transport layer.

The patch was constructed by replacing all occurences of
usbhid_submit_report() by its hid_hw_request() counterpart.
Then, drivers not requiring USB_HID anymore have their USB_HID
dependency cleaned in the Kconfig file.

Finally, few drivers still depends on USB_HID. Many of them
are requiring the io wait callback. They are found in the next patch.

<content type='text'>
Use the new module_hid_driver macro in all HID drivers that have
a simple register/unregister init/exit.

This also converts the hid drivers that test for a failure of
hid_register_driver() and report the failure. Using module_hid_driver
in those drivers removes the failure message.

A pending cleanup will mean that module.h won't be implicitly

are actually calling out for &lt;module.h&gt; explicitly in advance.
