<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 *".

In chameleon_parse_gdd(), if mcb_device_register() fails, 'mdev'
would be released in mcb_device_register() via put_device().
Thus, goto 'err' label and free 'mdev' again causes a double free.
Just return if mcb_device_register() fails.

commit 33def8498fdd ("treewide: Convert macro and uses of __section(foo)
to __section("foo")") and for the same reason, it is not desired for the
namespace argument to be a macro expansion itself.

chameleon_parse_gdd() may fail for different reasons and end up
in the err tag. Make sure we at least always free the mcb_device
allocated with mcb_alloc_dev().

If mcb_device_register() fails, make sure to give up the reference
in the same place the device was added.

<content type='text'>
When calling mcb_bus_add_devices(), both mcb devices and the mcb
bus will attempt to attach a device to a driver because they share
the same bus_type. This causes an issue when trying to cast the
container of the device to mcb_device struct using to_mcb_device(),
leading to a wrong cast when the mcb_bus is added. A crash occurs
when freing the ida resources as the bus numbering of mcb_bus gets
confused with the is_added flag on the mcb_device struct.

The only reason for this cast was to keep an is_added flag on the
mcb_device struct that does not seem necessary. The function
device_attach() handles already bound devices and the mcb subsystem
does nothing special with this is_added flag so remove it completely.

The function chameleon_parse_cells() returns the number of cells
parsed which has an undetermined size. This return value is only
used for error checking but the number of cells is never used.

Change return value to be number of bytes parsed to allow for
memory management improvements.

If mcb_device_register() returns error in chameleon_parse_gdd(), the refcount
of bus and device name are leaked. Fix this by calling put_device() to give up
the reference, so they can be released in mcb_release_dev() and kobject_cleanup().
