<id>urn:sha1:f03dd5dd736d6aea94406a273be2a10f84bc60e1</id>
<content type='text'>
This continues the effort to refactor workqueue APIs, which began with
the introduction of new workqueues and a new alloc_workqueue flag in:

   commit 128ea9f6ccfb ("workqueue: Add system_percpu_wq and system_dfl_wq")
   commit 930c2ea566af ("workqueue: Add new WQ_PERCPU flag")

The refactoring is going to alter the default behavior of
alloc_workqueue() to be unbound by default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU. For more details see the Link tag below.

In order to keep alloc_workqueue() behavior identical, explicitly request
WQ_PERCPU.

<title>Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct</title>

<content type='text'>
The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and
is really not helping.  Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member
function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a
comment to that effect:

  /*
   * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove().
   * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are
   * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped.
   */

This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with
'.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs
to make things line up.

I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used
spaces to line things up.

Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this
is the end result.  No more unnecessary conversion noise.

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

<title>ACPI: utils: Introduce helper for _DEP list lookup</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d70d141bb15f328528f94557ddf754abeb027365</id>
<content type='text'>
The ACPI LPSS driver and the Surface platform driver code use almost the
same code pattern for checking if one ACPI device is present in the list
returned by _DEP for another ACPI device.

To reduce the resulting code duplication, introduce a helper for that
called acpi_device_dep() and invoke it from both places.

No intentional functional impact.

<title>ACPI: utils: Return bool from acpi_evaluate_reference()</title>

<content type='text'>
There are only 4 users of acpi_evaluate_reference() and none of them
actually cares about the reason why it fails.  All of them are only
interested in whether or not it is successful, so it can return a bool
value indicating that.

Modify acpi_evaluate_reference() as per the observation above and update
its callers accordingly so as to get rid of useless code and local
variables.

The observable behavior of the kernel is not expected to change after
this modification of the code.

Address a long-standing "TBD" comment in the ACPI headers regarding the
number of handles in struct acpi_handle_list.

The number 10, which along with the comment dates back to 2.4.23, seems
like it may have been arbitrarily chosen and isn't sufficient in all
cases [1].

Finally change the code to dynamically determine the size of the handles
table in struct acpi_handle_list and allocate it accordingly.

Update the users of to struct acpi_handle_list to take the additional
dynamic allocation into account.

<title>platform/surface: acpi-notify: Convert to platform remove callback returning void</title>

<content type='text'>
The .remove() callback for a platform driver returns an int which makes
many driver authors wrongly assume it's possible to do error handling by
returning an error code. However the value returned is ignored (apart
from emitting a warning) and this typically results in resource leaks.
To improve here there is a quest to make the remove callback return
void. In the first step of this quest all drivers are converted to
.remove_new() which already returns void. Eventually after all drivers
are converted, .remove_new() is renamed to .remove().

Trivially convert this driver from always returning zero in the remove
callback to the void returning variant.

<title>platform/surface: aggregator: Rename top-level request functions to avoid ambiguities</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b09ee1cd59918bcf1a6793b663034b6e345b3ced</id>
<content type='text'>
We currently have a struct ssam_request_sync and a function
ssam_request_sync(). While this is valid C, there are some downsides to
it.

One of these is that current Sphinx versions (&gt;= 3.0) cannot
disambiguate between the two (see disucssion and pull request linked
below). It instead emits a "WARNING: Duplicate C declaration" and links
for the struct and function in the resulting documentation link to the
same entry (i.e. both to either function or struct documentation)
instead of their respective own entries.

While we could just ignore that and wait for a fix, there's also a point
to be made that the current naming can be somewhat confusing when
searching (e.g. via grep) or trying to understand the levels of
abstraction at play:

We currently have struct ssam_request_sync and associated functions
ssam_request_sync_[alloc|free|init|wait|...]() operating on this struct.
However, function ssam_request_sync() is one abstraction level above
this. Similarly, ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() is not a function
operating on struct ssam_request_sync, but rather a sibling to
ssam_request_sync(), both using the struct under the hood.

Therefore, rename the top level request functions:

  ssam_request_sync() -&gt; ssam_request_do_sync()
  ssam_request_sync_with_buffer() -&gt; ssam_request_do_sync_with_buffer()
  ssam_request_sync_onstack() -&gt; ssam_request_do_sync_onstack()

To work around a misbehavior of the compiler's ability to see into
composite flexible array structs (as detailed in the coming memcpy()
hardening series[1]), split the memcpy() of the header and the payload
so no false positive run-time overflow warning will be generated.
