<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 *".

<content type='text'>
This patch fixes the error checking in nfcsim.c.
The DebugFS kernel API is developed in
a way that the caller can safely ignore the errors that
occur during the creation of DebugFS nodes.

Smatch complains that:
nfcsim_debugfs_init_dev() warn: 'dev_dir' is an error pointer or valid

According to the documentation of the debugfs_create_dir() function,
there is no need to check the return value of this function.
Just delete the dead code.

nfcsim_abort_cmd() does not modify struct nfcsim, so local variable
can be a pointer to const.

<title>nfc: nfcsim: fix use after free during module unload</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5e7b30d24a5b8cb691c173b45b50e3ca0191be19</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a use after free memory corruption during module exit:
 - nfcsim_exit()
  - nfcsim_device_free(dev0)
    - nfc_digital_unregister_device()
      This iterates over command queue and frees all commands,
    - dev-&gt;up = false
    - nfcsim_link_shutdown()
      - nfcsim_link_recv_wake()
        This wakes the sleeping thread nfcsim_link_recv_skb().

 - nfcsim_link_recv_skb()
   Wake from wait_event_interruptible_timeout(),
   call directly the deb-&gt;cb callback even though (dev-&gt;up == false),
   - digital_send_cmd_complete()
     Dereference of "struct digital_cmd" cmd which was freed earlier by
     nfc_digital_unregister_device().

This causes memory corruption shortly after (with unrelated stack
trace):

  nfc nfc0: NFC: nfcsim_recv_wq: Device is down
  llcp: nfc_llcp_recv: err -19
  nfc nfc1: NFC: nfcsim_recv_wq: Device is down

This flow of calling digital_send_cmd_complete() callback on driver exit
is specific to nfcsim which implements reading and sending work queues.
Since the NFC digital device was unregistered, the callback should not
be called.

Neither the core nor the drivers modify the passed pointer to struct
nfc_digital_ops, so make it a pointer to const for correctness and safety.

NULL checks at line 457: if (!link0 || !link1) {, implies that both
pointers link0 and link1 might be NULL.
Function nfcsim_link_free() dereference pointers link0 and link1.
Add NULL checks before calling nfcsim_link_free() to avoid a
potential NULL pointer dereference.
