<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 *".

The (struct vnic_dev).linkstatus buffer is freed in svnic_dev_unregister()
and referenced in svnic_dev_link_status() but never alloc'd. This means
(struct vnic_dev).linkstatus is always null and the dealloc the reference
in svnic_dev_link_status() is dead code.

<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.

'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.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:
======
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  70237	   9137	    320	  79694	  1374e	drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.o

After:
=====
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
  70461	   8913	    320	  79694	  1374e	drivers/scsi/3w-9xxx.o

<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).

Bart Van Assche &lt;bvanassche@acm.org&gt; says:

Hi Martin,

Multiple SCSI drivers use snprintf() to format a workqueue name before
invoking one of the create*_workqueue() macros. This patch series
simplifies such code by passing the format string and arguments to
alloc_workqueue(). Additionally, the structure members that are only
used as a temporary buffer for formatting workqueue names are
removed. Please consider this patch series for the next merge window.

Thanks,

Bart.
