<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>ceph: add trace points to the MDS client</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d927a595ab2f6de4e10b3e3962bc70ab61d8f907</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds trace points to the Ceph filesystem MDS client:

- request submission (CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_REQUEST) and completion
  (CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_REPLY)
- capabilities (CEPH_MSG_CLIENT_CAPS)

These are the central pieces that are useful for analyzing MDS
latency/performance problems from the client's perspective.

In the long run, all doutc() calls should be replaced with
tracepoints.  This way, the Ceph filesystem can be traced at any time
(without spamming the kernel log).  Additionally, trace points can be
used in BPF programs (which can even deference the pointer parameters
and extract more values).

<title>ceph: fix a race with rename() in ceph_mdsc_build_path()</title>

<content type='text'>
Lift copying the name into callers of ceph_encode_encrypted_dname()
that do not have it already copied; ceph_encode_encrypted_fname()
disappears.

That fixes a UAF in ceph_mdsc_build_path() - while the initial copy
of plaintext into buf is done under -&gt;d_lock, we access the
original name again in ceph_encode_encrypted_fname() and that is
done without any locking.  With ceph_encode_encrypted_dname() using
the stable copy the problem goes away.

We have hit a race between cap releases and cap revoke request
that will cause the check_caps() to miss sending a cap revoke ack
to MDS. And the client will depend on the cap release to release
that revoking caps, which could be delayed for some unknown reasons.

In Kclient we have figured out the RCA about race and we need
a way to explictly trigger this manually could help to get rid
of the caps revoke stuck issue.
