<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 *".

<title>Input: psmouse-smbus - add WQ_UNBOUND to alloc_workqueue user</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b72fbdc0807a42201b927112ce526ebf3bf2f391</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.

This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.

This patch continues the effort to refactor worqueue APIs, which has begun
with the change introducing new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag:

commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

This specific workload do not benefit from a per-cpu workqueue, so use
WQ_UNBOUND on the custom workqueue instead.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.

Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

This makes the code more compact and error handling more robust
by ensuring that mutexes are released in all code paths when control
leaves critical section.

<content type='text'>
This reverts commit 92e24e0e57f72e06c2df87116557331fd2d4dda2.

While the patch itself is correct, it uncovered an issue with fallback
to PS/2 mode, where we were leaving psmouse-&gt;fast_reconnect handler set
to psmouse_smbus_reconnect(), which caused crashes.

While discussing various approaches to fix the issue it was noted that
this patch ass undesired delay in the "fast" resume path of PS/2 device,
and it would be better to actually use "reset_delay" option defined in
struct rmi_device_platform_data and have RMI code handle it for SMBus
transport as well. So this patch is being reverted to deal with crashes
and a better solution will be merged shortly.

There is a period of time between the psmouse deactivate and the
ability to communicate with the SMBus companion. Insert a
sleep after the deactivate to account for the delay and ensure
the SMBus companion is responsive.

Attempting to read from the SMBus companion too quickly was causing
the touchpad on machines with an i801_smbus companion to stop working
after a sleep/resume cycle.

On resume the rmi4_smbus would fail with errors reading the SMBus version
number:
```
[5454] i2c_i801:i801_check_post:414: i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: No response
smbus_result: i2c-0 a=02c f=0000 c=fd BYTE_DATA rd res=-6
rmi4_smbus 0-002c: failed to get SMBus version number!
...
rmi4_f01 rmi4-00.fn01: Failed to restore normal operation: -6.
rmi4_f01 rmi4-00.fn01: Resume failed with code -6.
rmi4_physical rmi4-00: Failed to suspend functions: -6
rmi4_smbus 0-002c: Failed to resume device: -6
```
In this case the rmi_smb_get_version fails with -ENXIO if it happens too
soon after the preceding serio_resume -&gt; psmouse_deactivate call.

On boot this issue could cause the touchpad to stay in the limited PS/2
mode. This only reproduced in 1 in 10 boots on the Lenovo T440p.
Failures in the log on boot would show up as:
```
psmouse serio1: synaptics: Trying to set up SMBus access
[122] i2c_i801:i801_check_post:437: i801_smbus 0000:00:1f.3: No response
psmouse serio1: synaptics: SMbus companion is not ready yet
```

Experimentation on the Lenovo T440p showed that a delay of 7-12ms on
resume allowed the companion to respond.

The 30ms delay in this patch was chosen based on the linux-input message:

<content type='text'>
When we switch from emulated PS/2 to native (RMI4 or Elan) protocols, we
create SMBus companion devices that are attached to I2C/SMBus controllers.
However, when suspending and resuming, we also need to make sure that we
take into account the PS/2 device they are associated with, so that PS/2
device is suspended after the companion and resumed before it, otherwise
companions will not work properly. Before I2C devices were marked for
asynchronous suspend/resume, this ordering happened naturally, but now we
need to enforce it by establishing device links, with PS/2 devices being
suppliers and SMBus companions being consumers.

Fixes: 172d931910e1 ("i2c: enable async suspend/resume on i2c client devices")
