<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>ocfs2: annotate more flexible array members with __counted_by_le()</title>

Annotate flexible array members of 'struct ocfs2_local_alloc' and 'struct
ocfs2_inline_data' with '__counted_by_le()' attribute to improve array
bounds checking when CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS is enabled, and prefer the
convenient 'memset()' over an explicit loop to simplify
'ocfs2_clear_local_alloc()'.

<content type='text'>
Commit 30dd3478c3cd ("ocfs2: correctly use ocfs2_find_next_zero_bit()")
introduced an issue, the ocfs2_sync_local_to_main() ignores the last
contiguous free bits, which causes an OCFS2 volume to lose the last free
clusters of LA window during the release routine.

Please note, because commit dfe6c5692fb5 ("ocfs2: fix the la space leak
when unmounting an ocfs2 volume") was reverted, this commit is a
replacement fix for commit dfe6c5692fb5.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "Revert ocfs2 commit dfe6c5692fb5 and provide a new fix".

SUSE QA team detected a mistake in my commit dfe6c5692fb5 ("ocfs2: fix the
la space leak when unmounting an ocfs2 volume").  I am very sorry for my
error.  (If my eyes are correct) From the mailling list mails, this patch
shouldn't be applied to 4.19 5.4 5.10 5.15 6.1 6.6, and these branches
should perform a revert operation.

Reason for revert:
In commit dfe6c5692fb5, I mistakenly wrote: "This bug has existed since
the initial OCFS2 code.".  The statement is wrong.  The correct
introduction commit is 30dd3478c3cd.  IOW, if the branch doesn't include
30dd3478c3cd, dfe6c5692fb5 should also not be included.


This reverts commit dfe6c5692fb5 ("ocfs2: fix the la space leak when
unmounting an ocfs2 volume").

In commit dfe6c5692fb5, the commit log "This bug has existed since the
initial OCFS2 code." is wrong.  The correct introduction commit is
30dd3478c3cd ("ocfs2: correctly use ocfs2_find_next_zero_bit()").

The influence of commit dfe6c5692fb5 is that it provides a correct fix for
the latest kernel.  however, it shouldn't be pushed to stable branches. 
Let's use this commit to revert all branches that include dfe6c5692fb5 and
use a new fix method to fix commit 30dd3478c3cd.

This bug has existed since the initial OCFS2 code.  The code logic in
ocfs2_sync_local_to_main() is wrong, as it ignores the last contiguous
free bits, which causes an OCFS2 volume to lose the last free clusters of
LA window on each umount command.

<title>ocfs2: adjust enabling place for la window</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f51dac026f75863004ebfb7885cec98e6d3172bb</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "improve write IO performance when fragmentation is high",
v6.


This patch (of 4):

After introducing gd-&gt;bg_contig_free_bits, the code path
'ocfs2_cluster_group_search() =&gt; ocfs2_local_alloc_seen_free_bits()'
becomes death when all the gd-&gt;bg_contig_free_bits are set to the correct
value.  This patch relocates ocfs2_local_alloc_seen_free_bits() to a more
appropriate location.  (The new place being ocfs2_block_group_set_bits().)

In ocfs2_local_alloc_seen_free_bits(), the scope of the spin-lock has been
adjusted to reduce meaningless lock races.  e.g: when userspace creates &amp;
deletes 1 cluster_size files in parallel, acquiring the spin-lock in
ocfs2_local_alloc_seen_free_bits() is totally pointless and impedes IO
performance.

If no bits are zero, ocfs2_find_next_zero_bit() will return max size, so
check the return value with -1 is meaningless.  Correct this usage and
cleanup the code.
