<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: 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: hpsa: Replace kmalloc() + copy_from_user() with memdup_user()</title>

<content type='text'>
Replace kmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to
improve and simplify hpsa_passthru_ioctl().

Since memdup_user() already allocates memory, use kzalloc() in the else
branch instead of manually zeroing 'buff' using memset(0).

Return early if an error occurs and remove the 'out_kfree' label.

No functional changes intended.

<content type='text'>
Replace kmalloc() followed by copy_from_user() with memdup_user() to fix
a memory leak that occurs when copy_from_user(buff[sg_used],,) fails and
the 'cleanup1:' path does not free the memory for 'buff[sg_used]'. Using
memdup_user() avoids this by freeing the memory internally.

Since memdup_user() already allocates memory, use kzalloc() in the else
branch instead of manually zeroing 'buff[sg_used]' using memset(0).

strncpy() is deprecated for NUL-terminated destination buffers. Replace
memset() and strncpy() with strscpy_pad() to copy the version string and
fill the remaining bytes in the destination buffer with NUL bytes. This
avoids zeroing the memory before copying the string.

Compile-tested only.

<id>urn:sha1:d69ddae194ca2c8ea426747efba730bfec20fe04</id>
<content type='text'>
While replacing strncpy() with strscpy(), Bart Van Assche pointed out
that the code occurs inside sysfs write callbacks, which already uses
NUL-terminated strings. This allows the string to be passed directly to
sscanf() without requiring a temporary copy.

Remove the deprecated and unnecessary strncpy() and the corresponding
local variables, and pass the buffer buf directly to sscanf().

Replace sscanf() with kstrtoint() to silence checkpatch warnings.

Compile-tested only.
