<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: 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.

The scp pointer cannot be NULL, as it is evaluated from container_of()
and pointer offsets (so remove the check in sdebug_q_cmd_complete()).

<title>scsi: scsi_debug: Stop using READ/WRITE_ONCE() when accessing sdebug_defer.defer_t</title>

<content type='text'>
Using READ/WRITE_ONCE() means that the read or write is not torn by the
compiler.

READ/WRITE_ONCE() is always used when accessing sdebug_defer.defer_t.

However, we also guard the access in a spinlock when accessing that
member, and spinlock already guarantees no tearing, so stop using
READ/WRITE_ONCE().

<title>scsi: scsi_debug: Stop printing extra function name in debug logs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a743b120227a371f37c46738d91cc7a9691dbcf6</id>
<content type='text'>
The driver defines as follows pr_fmt:

  #define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ":%s: " fmt, __func__

...meaning that we already get the function name added in any debug
statements.

Remove using of __func__ in debug logs to avoid the duplication.

For instances of where the function name was being printed, add some
verbose comment to avoid using "" (which would be a bit silly).

It would be nicer to stop using pr_fmt(), but that would mean rewriting
approx 100 debug statements to have a sensible and clear message.
