<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>

<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>ALSA: seq: dummy: Allow UMP conversion</title>

<content type='text'>
Although the purpose of dummy seq client is a direct pass-through,
it's sometimes helpful for debugging if it can convert to a certain
UMP MIDI version.  This patch adds an option to specify the UMP event
conversion.  As default, it skips the conversion and does
passthrough, while user can pass ump=1 or ump=2 to enforce the
conversion to UMP MIDI1 or MIDI2 format.

<content type='text'>
A sequencer client like seq_dummy rather doesn't want to convert UMP
events but receives / sends as is.  Add a new event filter flag to
suppress the automatic UMP conversion and applies accordingly.

<title>ALSA: seq: Add port direction to snd_seq_port_info</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ff166a9d19fab3d77f50e9413df046fb1d7c01cc</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new field "direction" to snd_seq_port_info for allowing a client
to tell the expected direction of the port access.  A port might still
allow subscriptions for read/write (e.g. for MIDI-CI) even if the
primary usage of the port is a single direction (either input or
output only).  This new "direction" field can help to indicate such
cases.

When the direction is unspecified at creating a port and the port has
either read or write capability, the corresponding direction bits are
set automatically as default.

number 14, while it's wrongly documented in the comments as if 62,
which was an old number that was used during development.  Fix all
those numbers.

<content type='text'>
There are lots of places doing assignments in if condition in ALSA
sequencer core, which is a bad coding style that may confuse readers
and occasionally lead to bugs.

This patch is merely for coding-style fixes, no functional changes.

of autoload code.  Let's drop them now.  This allows us to simplify a
few codes nicely.

<title>ALSA: seq-dummy: remove deadlock-causing events on close</title>

When the last subscriber to a "Through" port has been removed, the
subscribed destination ports might still be active, so it would be
wrong to send "all sounds off" and "reset controller" events to them.
The proper place for such a shutdown would be the closing of the actual
MIDI port (and close_substream() in rawmidi.c already can do this).

This also fixes a deadlock when dummy_unuse() tries to send events to
its own port that is already locked because it is being freed.
