<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>

<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 *".

Follow the advice of the below link and prefer 'strscpy' in this
subsystem. Conversion is 1:1 because the return value is not used.

<content type='text'>
The driver was issuing synchronous uninterruptible control requests
without using a timeout. This could lead to the driver hanging on probe
due to a malfunctioning (or malicious) device until the device is
physically disconnected. While sleeping in probe the driver prevents
other devices connected to the same hub from being added to (or removed
from) the bus.

The USB upper limit of five seconds per request should be more than
enough.

keyspan_probe() is never called in atomic context. It calls
usb_alloc_coherent() with GFP_ATOMIC, which is not necessary. GFP_ATOMIC
can be replaced with GFP_KERNEL.

This is found by a static analysis tool named DCNS written by myself.

Inline macro for MODULE_LICENSE to make the license information easy to
find, eg with grep.  Inline the other module-related macros at the same
time.

A simplified version of the semantic patch for the MODULE_LICENSE
case is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@s@
identifier i; expression e;
@@

@@
declarer name MODULE_LICENSE;
identifier s.i;
expression s.e;
@@
MODULE_LICENSE(
- i
+ e
 );
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

There is no need to #define the license of the driver, just put it in
the MODULE_LICENSE() line directly as a text string.

This allows tools that check that the module license matches the source
code license to work properly, as there is no need to unwind the
unneeded dereference.  For some of these drivers, the #define is just a
few lines above the MODULE_LICENSE() line, which is extra pointless.

usb_device_id are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with usb_device_id provided by &lt;linux/usb.h&gt; work with
const usb_device_id. So mark the non-const structs as const.
