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_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

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>

<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 *".

'struct configfs_item_operations' and 'configfs_group_operations' are not
modified in these drivers.

Constifying these structures moves some data to a read-only section, so
increases overall security, especially when the structure holds some
function pointers.

On a x86_64, with allmodconfig, as an example:
Before:

When using f_midi from configfs the USB MIDI interface string is hardcoded
to 'MIDI function'.

This USB string descriptor is used by some third-party OS or software to
display the name of the MIDI device

Since we add an additional string option a new macro block was created to
factorize declarations

When using USB MIDI, a lock is attempted to be acquired twice through a
re-entrant call to f_midi_transmit, causing a deadlock.

Fix it by using queue_work() to schedule the inner f_midi_transmit() via
a high priority work queue from the completion handler.

<content type='text'>
While the MIDI jacks are configured correctly, and the MIDIStreaming
endpoint descriptors are filled with the correct information,
bNumEmbMIDIJack and bLength are set incorrectly in these descriptors.

This does not matter when the numbers of in and out ports are equal, but
when they differ the host will receive broken descriptors with
uninitialized stack memory leaking into the descriptor for whichever
value is smaller.

The precise meaning of "in" and "out" in the port counts is not clearly
defined and can be confusing.  But elsewhere the driver consistently
uses this to match the USB meaning of IN and OUT viewed from the host,
so that "in" ports send data to the host and "out" ports receive data
from it.

<title>usb: gadget: f_midi: Fixing wMaxPacketSize exceeded issue during MIDI bind retries</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9e8b21410f310c50733f6e1730bae5a8e30d3570</id>
<content type='text'>
The current implementation sets the wMaxPacketSize of bulk in/out
endpoints to 1024 bytes at the end of the f_midi_bind function. However,
in cases where there is a failure in the first midi bind attempt,
consider rebinding. This scenario may encounter an f_midi_bind issue due
to the previous bind setting the bulk endpoint's wMaxPacketSize to 1024
bytes, which exceeds the ep-&gt;maxpacket_limit where configured dwc3 TX/RX
FIFO's maxpacket size of 512 bytes for IN/OUT endpoints in support HS
speed only.

Here the term "rebind" in this context refers to attempting to bind the
MIDI function a second time in certain scenarios. The situations where
rebinding is considered include:

 * When there is a failure in the first UDC write attempt, which may be
   caused by other functions bind along with MIDI.
 * Runtime composition change : Example : MIDI,ADB to MIDI. Or MIDI to
   MIDI,ADB.

This commit addresses this issue by resetting the wMaxPacketSize before
endpoint claim. And here there is no need to reset all values in the usb
endpoint descriptor structure, as all members except wMaxPacketSize and
bEndpointAddress have predefined values.

This ensures that restores the endpoint to its expected configuration,
and preventing conflicts with value of ep-&gt;maxpacket_limit. It also
aligns with the approach used in other function drivers, which treat
endpoint descriptors as if they were full speed before endpoint claim.

The function strcpy() is depreciated and potentially unsafe. It performs
no bounds checking on the destination buffer. This could result in
linear overflows beyond the end of the buffer, leading to all kinds of
misbehaviors. The safe replacement is strscpy() [1].

this fixes checkpatch warning:
