<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

<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 *".

There is no need for explicit locking when using the ida API, as stated in
the doc related to ida_alloc_range() / ida_free().

So remove rpmb_mutex.

ida_alloc() and ida_free() should be preferred to the deprecated
ida_simple_get() and ida_simple_remove().

This is less verbose.

<title>rpmb: fix error path in rpmb_dev_register()</title>

Until this patch was rpmb_dev_register() always freeing rdev in the error
path. However, past device_register() it must not do that since the memory
is now managed by the device even if it failed to register properly. So fix
this by doing a put_device() before returning the error code.

Fixes the smatch warning:
        drivers/misc/rpmb-core.c:204 rpmb_dev_register()
        warn: freeing device managed memory (leak): 'rdev'

Fixes: 1e9046e3a154 ("rpmb: add Replay Protected Memory Block (RPMB) subsystem")

A number of storage technologies support a specialised hardware
partition designed to be resistant to replay attacks. The underlying
HW protocols differ but the operations are common. The RPMB partition
cannot be accessed via standard block layer, but by a set of specific
RPMB commands. Such a partition provides authenticated and replay
protected access, hence suitable as a secure storage.

The initial aim of this patch is to provide a simple RPMB driver
interface which can be accessed by the optee driver to facilitate early
RPMB access to OP-TEE OS (secure OS) during the boot time.

A TEE device driver can claim the RPMB interface, for example, via
rpmb_interface_register() or rpmb_dev_find_device(). The RPMB driver
provides a callback to route RPMB frames to the RPMB device accessible
via rpmb_route_frames().

The detailed operation of implementing the access is left to the TEE
device driver itself.
