<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 *".

<title>mtd: slram: insert break after errors in parsing the map</title>

<id>urn:sha1:336c218dd7f0588ed8a7345f367975a00a4f003f</id>
<content type='text'>
GCC 12.3.0 compiler on linux-next next-20240709 tree found the execution
path in which, due to lazy evaluation, devlength isn't initialised with the
parsed string:

   289		while (map) {
   290			devname = devstart = devlength = NULL;
   291
   292			if (!(devname = strsep(&amp;map, ","))) {
   293				E("slram: No devicename specified.\n");
   294				break;
   295			}
   296			T("slram: devname = %s\n", devname);
   297			if ((!map) || (!(devstart = strsep(&amp;map, ",")))) {
   298				E("slram: No devicestart specified.\n");
   299			}
   300			T("slram: devstart = %s\n", devstart);
 → 301			if ((!map) || (!(devlength = strsep(&amp;map, ",")))) {
   302				E("slram: No devicelength / -end specified.\n");
   303			}
 → 304			T("slram: devlength = %s\n", devlength);
   305			if (parse_cmdline(devname, devstart, devlength) != 0) {
   306				return(-EINVAL);
   307			}

Parsing should be finished after map == NULL, so a break is best inserted after
each E("slram: ... \n") error message.

<title>mtd: Stop updating erase_info-&gt;state and calling mtd_erase_callback()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e7bfb3fdbde3bfeeeb64e2d73ac6babe59519c9e</id>
<content type='text'>
MTD users are no longer checking erase_info-&gt;state to determine if the
erase operation failed or succeeded. Moreover, mtd_erase_callback() is
now a NOP.

We can safely get rid of all mtd_erase_callback() calls and all
erase_info-&gt;state assignments. While at it, get rid of the
erase_info-&gt;state field, all MTD_ERASE_XXX definitions and the
mtd_erase_callback() function.

<title>mtd: slram: use memremap() instead of ioremap()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:cb9e20633d81290acefb9ec1af281ff4c650fbde</id>
<content type='text'>
Convert slram to use memremap() to map the memory it uses to back an MTD
device, as this is the proper interface for mapping memory. This change
enables normal memory to be used to back an MTD device on arm64, as arm64
prevents ioremap() being used on normal memory.
