<content type='text'>
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<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 *".

The error handling code in tpci200_register does not free interface_regs
allocated by ioremap and the current version of error handling code is
problematic.

Fix this by refactoring the error handling code and free interface_regs
when necessary.

<title>ipack: tpci200: fix many double free issues in tpci200_pci_probe</title>

<content type='text'>
The function tpci200_register called by tpci200_install and
tpci200_unregister called by tpci200_uninstall are in pair. However,
tpci200_unregister has some cleanup operations not in the
tpci200_register. So the error handling code of tpci200_pci_probe has
many different double free issues.

Fix this problem by moving those cleanup operations out of
tpci200_unregister, into tpci200_pci_remove and reverting
the previous commit 9272e5d0028d ("ipack/carriers/tpci200:
Fix a double free in tpci200_pci_probe").

<title>ipac: tpci200: fix kernel-doc syntax and remove filename from file header</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0419bf0fe6e599ab31ed26aad2db8dfa297cd731</id>
<content type='text'>
The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
The header for drivers/ipack/carriers/tpci200 follows this syntax, but the
content inside does not comply with kernel-doc.

This line was probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but is parsed
due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which
causes unexpected warning from kernel-doc.

For e.g., running scripts/kernel-doc -none on
drivers/ipack/carriers/tpci200.c emits:
warning: This comment starts with '/**', but isn't a kernel-doc comment. Refer Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst
 * tpci200.c

Provide a simple fix by replacing this occurrence with general comment
format, i.e. '/*', to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.

Also remove the redundant file name from the comment headers.

In the out_err_bus_register error branch of tpci200_pci_probe,
tpci200-&gt;info-&gt;cfg_regs is freed by tpci200_uninstall()-&gt;
tpci200_unregister()-&gt;pci_iounmap(..,tpci200-&gt;info-&gt;cfg_regs)
in the first time.

But later, iounmap() is called to free tpci200-&gt;info-&gt;cfg_regs
again.

My patch sets tpci200-&gt;info-&gt;cfg_regs to NULL after tpci200_uninstall()
to avoid the double free.
