<content type='text'>
One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:

struct foo {
    int stuff;
    void *entry[];
};

instance = kzalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);

Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:

instance = kzalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);

This code was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

<title>treewide: Use array_size() in vmalloc()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:42bc47b35320e0e587a88e437e18f80f9c5bcbb2</id>
<content type='text'>
The vmalloc() function has no 2-factor argument form, so multiplication
factors need to be wrapped in array_size(). This patch replaces cases of:

        vmalloc(a * b)

with:
        vmalloc(array_size(a, b))

as well as handling cases of:

        vmalloc(a * b * c)

with:

        vmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c))

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        vmalloc(4 * 1024)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

Use the fmode_t that is passed to dm_blk_ioctl() rather than
inconsistently (varies across targets) drop it on the floor by
overriding it with the fmode_t stored in 'struct dm_dev'.

All the persistent reservation functions weren't using the fmode_t they
got back from .prepare_ioctl so remove them.

Could be useful for a target to return stats or other information.
If a target does DMEMIT() anything to @result from its .message method
then it must return 1 to the caller.

<title>locking/atomics: COCCINELLE/treewide: Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() patterns to READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()</title>

<content type='text'>
Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.

For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in
churn.

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write
accessors must be used. This patch migrates (most) remaining
ACCESS_ONCE() instances to {READ,WRITE}_ONCE(), using the following
coccinelle script:

----
// Convert trivial ACCESS_ONCE() uses to equivalent READ_ONCE() and
// WRITE_ONCE()

// $ make coccicheck COCCI=/home/mark/once.cocci SPFLAGS="--include-headers" MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
expression E1, E2;
@@

- ACCESS_ONCE(E1) = E2
+ WRITE_ONCE(E1, E2)

 - Add bufio optimization and checksum failure accounting to DM
   integrity

 - Fix DM integrity to avoid checking integrity of failed reads

 - Fix DM integrity to use init_completion

 - A couple DM log-writes target fixes

 - Simplify DAX flushing by eliminating the unnecessary flush

The arrays of 'struct dm_arg' are never modified by the device-mapper
core, so constify them so that they are placed in .rodata.

(Exception: the args array in dm-raid cannot be constified because it is
allocated on the stack and modified.)

<content type='text'>
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

The variable sctx-&gt;nr_regions has type unsigned long and the variable
nr_regions has type sector_t.

Thus the variables may be different when overflow happens.
Changed the conditional to "if (nr_regions &gt;= ULONG_MAX)".
Also move the assignment of nr_regions after sector_div()
and the sanity check which looks more sane.

<content type='text'>
This moves the call to blkdev_ioctl and the argument checking to DM core
code, and only leaves a callout to find the block device to operate on
in the targets.  This simplifies the code and allows us to pass through
ioctl-like command using other methods in the next patch.

Also split out a helper around calling the prepare_ioctl method that
will be reused for persistent reservation handling.
