<id>urn:sha1:32a92f8c89326985e05dce8b22d3f0aa07a3e1bd</id>
<content type='text'>
This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<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>scsi: Change the return type of the .queuecommand() callback</title>

<content type='text'>
In clang version 21.1 and later the -Wimplicit-enum-enum-cast warning
option has been introduced. This warning is enabled by default and can
be used to catch .queuecommand() implementations that return another
value than 0 or one of the SCSI_MLQUEUE_* constants. Hence this patch
that changes the return type of the .queuecommand() implementations from
'int' into 'enum scsi_qc_status'. No functionality has been changed.

<title>scsi: Convert SCSI drivers to .sdev_configure()</title>

<content type='text'>
The only difference between the .sdev_configure() and .slave_configure()
methods is that the former accepts an additional 'limits' argument.
Convert all SCSI drivers that define a .slave_configure() method to
.sdev_configure(). This patch prepares for removing the
.slave_configure() method. No functionality has been changed.

<title>scsi: Rename .slave_alloc() and .slave_destroy()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ed638918f4df39daa458435f0825b487c1f192c8</id>
<content type='text'>
Rename .slave_alloc() into .sdev_init() and .slave_destroy() into
.sdev_destroy(). The new names make it clear that these are actions on
SCSI devices. Make this change in the SCSI core, SCSI drivers and also
in the ATA drivers. No functionality has been changed.

This patch has been created as follows:
* Change the text "slave_alloc" into "sdev_init" in all source files
  except those in drivers/net/ and Documentation/.
* Change the text "slave_destroy" into "sdev_destroy" in all source
  files except those in drivers/net/ and Documentation/.
* Rename lpfc_no_slave() into lpfc_no_sdev().
* Manually adjust whitespace where necessary to restore vertical
  alignment (dc395x driver and include/linux/libata.h).

<title>scsi: 53c700: Remove snprintf() from sysfs call-backs and replace with sysfs_emit()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f615c74de38300f2918033b5c44ac829d1fb7794</id>
<content type='text'>
Since snprintf() has the documented, but still rather strange trait of
returning the length of the data that *would have been* written to the
array if space were available, rather than the arguably more useful
length of data *actually* written, it is usually considered wise to use
something else instead in order to avoid confusion.

In the case of sysfs call-backs, new wrappers exist that do just that.

[mkp: removed unrelated whitespace cleanups]

pointer.

None of the 53c700 drivers uses the SCSI pointer. Hence remove the code
from 53c700.c that clears two SCSI pointer fields. The 53c700 drivers are:

$ git grep -l 'include.*53c700'
drivers/scsi/53c700.c

a few lines earlier, the assignment is redundant and can be removed.
