<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 *".

<content type='text'>
The pointer data is being assigned a value that is not being
read afterwards, it is being re-assigned later inside a do-while
loop. The assignment is redundant and can be removed.

Cleans up clang scan warning:

Start propagating errors to user space when setting the break state
fails.

This will be used by follow-on changes to also report when a driver or
device does not support break control.

There should be no reason to adjust old ktermios which is going to get
discarded anyway.

If keyspan_port_probe() fails to allocate memory for an out_buffer[i] or
in_buffer[i], the previously allocated memory for out_buffer or
in_buffer needs to be freed on the error handling path, otherwise a
memory leak will result.

Line disciplines expect a positive value or zero returned from
tty-&gt;ops-&gt;write_room (invoked by tty_write_room). Both of them are being
updated to return an unsigned int. Switch also
usb_serial_driver::write_room and all its users.

<content type='text'>
Forward declarations make the code larger, harder to follow and rewrite.
Harder as the declarations are often omitted from global changes. Remove
forward declarations which are not really needed, i.e. when the
definition of the function is before its first use.

All usb_serial drivers return 0 in their remove callbacks and driver
core ignores the value returned by usb_serial_device_remove(). So change
the remove callback to return void and return 0 unconditionally in
usb_serial_device_remove().
