<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>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>scsi: buslogic: Reduce stack usage</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e17f0d4cc006265dd92129db4bf9da3a2e4a4f66</id>
<content type='text'>
Some randconfig builds run into excessive stack usage with gcc-14 or
higher, which use __attribute__((cold)) where earlier versions did not do
that:

drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c: In function 'blogic_init':
drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c:2398:1: error: the frame size of 1680 bytes is larger than 1536 bytes [-Werror=frame-larger-than=]

The problem is that a lot of code gets inlined into blogic_init() here. Two
functions stick out, but they are a bit different:

 - blogic_init_probeinfo_list() actually uses a few hundred bytes of kernel
   stack, which is a problem in combination with other functions that also
   do. Marking this one as noinline means that the stack slots get get
   reused between function calls

 - blogic_reportconfig() has a few large variables, but whenever it is not
   inlined into its caller, the compiler is actually smart enough to reuse
   stack slots for these automatically, so marking it as noinline saves
   most of the stack space by itself.

The combination of both of these should avoid the problem entirely.

<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.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - NVMe pull request via Keith:
     - FC target fixes (Daniel)
     - Authentication fixes and updates (Martin, Chris)
     - Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
     - Target lockdep assertions (Max)
     - Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
     - Suspend quirk (Georg)

 - MD pull request via Yu:
     - Add support for a lockless bitmap.

       A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
       lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
       bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
       to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
       writes.

       By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
       case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
       need to do a full disk resync/recovery.

 - Switch -&gt;getgeo() and -&gt;bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
   than struct block_device.

 - Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
   configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
   includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
   cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.

   The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
   `kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
   to support the same use as the removed logic.

 - floppy arch cleanups

 - Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands

 - Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
   of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
   setups.

 - A few s390 dasd block fixes

 - Fix a few issues around atomic writes

 - Improve DMA interation for integrity requests

 - Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
   constraints.

   We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
   only the request as a whole needs to.

 - Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
   payloads

 - Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate

 - Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections

 - Fix ordering of recursively submitted IOs

 - Clean up and improve updating nr_requests for a live device

 - Various fixes and cleanups

<title>scsi: Always define blogic_pci_tbl structure</title>

<content type='text'>
The blogic_pci_tbl structure is used by the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE macro.
There is no longer a need to protect it with the MODULE condition, since
this no longer causes the compiler to warn about an unused variable.

To avoid warnings when -Wunused-const-variable option is used, mark it
as __maybe_unused for such configuration.

Instances are passed struct block_device *bdev argument; the only thing
it is used for (if it's used in the first place) is bdev-&gt;bd_disk.
Might as well pass that in the first place...

Both helpers are reading the partition table of the disk specified
by block_device of some partition on it; result depends only upon
the disk in question, so we might as well pass the struct gendisk
instead.

'struct pci_device_id' is not modified in these drivers.

Constifying this structure moves some data to a read-only section, so
increase overall security.
