<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: aacraid: Stop using PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY</title>
<updated>2025-07-25T01:18:00+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=dafeaf2c03e71255438ffe5a341d94d180e6c88e'/>
<id>urn:sha1:dafeaf2c03e71255438ffe5a341d94d180e6c88e</id>
<content type='text'>
When PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY is set for calling pci_alloc_irq_vectors(), it
means interrupts are spread around the available CPUs. It also means that
the interrupts become managed, which means that an interrupt is shutdown
when all the CPUs in the interrupt affinity mask go offline.

Using managed interrupts in this way means that we should ensure that
completions should not occur on HW queues where the associated interrupt
is shutdown. This is typically achieved by ensuring only CPUs which are
online can generate IO completion traffic to the HW queue which they are
mapped to (so that they can also serve completion interrupts for that HW
queue).

The problem in the driver is that a CPU can generate completions to a HW
queue whose interrupt may be shutdown, as the CPUs in the HW queue
interrupt affinity mask may be offline. This can cause IOs to never
complete and hang the system. The driver maintains its own CPU &lt;-&gt; HW
queue mapping for submissions, see aac_fib_vector_assign(), but this does
not reflect the CPU &lt;-&gt; HW queue interrupt affinity mapping.

Commit 9dc704dcc09e ("scsi: aacraid: Reply queue mapping to CPUs based on
IRQ affinity") tried to remedy this issue may mapping CPUs properly to HW
queue interrupts. However this was later reverted in commit c5becf57dd56
("Revert "scsi: aacraid: Reply queue mapping to CPUs based on IRQ
affinity") - it seems that there were other reports of hangs. I guess
that this was due to some implementation issue in the original commit or
maybe a HW issue.

Fix the very original hang by just not using managed interrupts by not
setting PCI_IRQ_AFFINITY.  In this way, all CPUs will be in each HW queue
affinity mask, so should not create completion problems if any CPUs go
offline.

aac_probe_one() calls hardware-specific init functions through the
aac_driver_ident::init pointer, all of which eventually call down to
aac_init_adapter().

If aac_init_adapter() fails after allocating memory for aac_dev::queues,
it frees the memory but does not clear that member.

After the hardware-specific init function returns an error,
aac_probe_one() goes down an error path that frees the memory pointed to
by aac_dev::queues, resulting.in a double-free.

<title>scsi: aacraid: struct {user,}sgmap{,64,raw}: Replace 1-element arrays with flexible arrays</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fdb1db6ea7f66cad970b19b5cd341b8386350bca</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace the deprecated[1] use of 1-element arrays in struct sgmap, struct
sgmap64, struct sgmapraw, struct user_sgmap, and struct user_sgmap64 with
modern flexible arrays. Additionally remove struct user_sgmapraw as it is
unused.

The resulting binary output differences from this change are limited only
to stack space consumption of the smaller "srbu" variable in
aac_issue_safw_bmic_identify() and aac_get_safw_ciss_luns(), as well as the
smaller associated pair of memcpy()s in
aac_send_safw_bmic_cmd(). Artificially growing the size of srbu back to its
prior size removes all binary differences[2].

As an aside, after studying the aacraid driver code I wonder how
aac_send_wellness_command() ever works. It is reporting a size 4 bytes too
small for what it has constructed in memory in the DMA region: sgentry64 is
size 12, whereas sgentry is size 8. Perhaps the hardware doesn't
care. (Regardless, it is unchanged by this patch.)
