<id>urn:sha1:ca7e99335aea7c5977683624ba319157a4603f96</id>
<content type='text'>
The ACPI driver interface used by the Fujitsu Extended Socket (fjes)
Network Device driver is redundant because its only role is to create
a platform device the fjes platform driver can bind to, which can be
done already at the module initialization time.

Namely, acpi_find_extended_socket_device() looks for the requisite ACPI
device object anyway and it may as well check its resources, and the
platform device can be created when the ACPI object in question
has been found (and it can be freed when the module is unloaded).

Moreover, as a rule, it is better to avoid binding drivers directly to
ACPI device objects [1].

Accordingly, drop fjes_acpi_driver, adjust the module initialization
and exit code as per the above and set the fwnode for the fjes platform
device to point to the corresponding ACPI device object as its ACPI
companion.

While this is not expected to alter functionality, it changes sysfs
layout and so it will be visible to user space.

<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>net: WQ_PERCPU added to alloc_workqueue users</title>

<id>urn:sha1:27ce71e1ce81875df72f7698ba27988392bef602</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently if a user enqueue a work item using schedule_delayed_work() the
used wq is "system_wq" (per-cpu wq) while queue_delayed_work() use
WORK_CPU_UNBOUND (used when a cpu is not specified). The same applies to
schedule_work() that is using system_wq and queue_work(), that makes use
again of WORK_CPU_UNBOUND.
This lack of consistentcy cannot be addressed without refactoring the API.

alloc_workqueue() treats all queues as per-CPU by default, while unbound
workqueues must opt-in via WQ_UNBOUND.

This default is suboptimal: most workloads benefit from unbound queues,
allowing the scheduler to place worker threads where they’re needed and
reducing noise when CPUs are isolated.

This change adds a new WQ_PERCPU flag at the network subsystem, to explicitly
request the use of the per-CPU behavior. Both flags coexist for one release
cycle to allow callers to transition their calls.

Once migration is complete, WQ_UNBOUND can be removed and unbound will
become the implicit default.

With the introduction of the WQ_PERCPU flag (equivalent to !WQ_UNBOUND),
any alloc_workqueue() caller that doesn’t explicitly specify WQ_UNBOUND
must now use WQ_PERCPU.

All existing users have been updated accordingly.

The latter is the preferred way to copy ethtool strings.

<content type='text'>
After commit 0edb555a65d1 ("platform: Make platform_driver::remove()
return void") .remove() is (again) the right callback to implement for
platform drivers.

Convert all platform drivers below drivers/net after the previous
conversion commits apart from the wireless drivers to use .remove(),
with the eventual goal to drop struct platform_driver::remove_new(). As
.remove() and .remove_new() have the same prototypes, conversion is done
by just changing the structure member name in the driver initializer.

<title>minmax: make generic MIN() and MAX() macros available everywhere</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1a251f52cfdc417c84411a056bc142cbd77baef4</id>
<content type='text'>
This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics.  The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.

These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:

 - trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed

   Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
   already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
   generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.

 - non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef

   This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
   situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
   generic version automatically" case.

 - strange use case #1

   A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
   versioning is with

	#define MAJ 1
	#define MIN 2
	#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)

   which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
   impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as

	#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"

   instead.

 - strange use case #2

   A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
   'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
   the traditional macro that takes arguments.

   These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
   function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
   parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.

Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

<title>net: fjes: correct TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH</title>

<id>urn:sha1:57e3c5af2befaf54cbae326fe800c148852e67a1</id>
<content type='text'>
A comment in define_trace.h clearly states:

 TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH if the path is something other than core kernel
                                                           vvvvvvvvvvvvvv
 include/trace then this macro can define the path to use. Note, the path
 is relative to define_trace.h, not the file including it. Full path names
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 for out of tree modules must be used.

fjes uses path relative to itself. Which (somehow) works most of
the time. Except when the kernel tree is "nested" in another
kernel tree, and ../drivers/net/fjes actually exists. In which
case build will use the header file from the wrong directory.

I've been trying to figure out why net NIPA builder is constantly
failing for the last 5 days, with:

include/trace/../../../drivers/net/fjes/fjes_trace.h:88:17: error: ‘__assign_str’ undeclared (first use in this function)
   88 |                 __assign_str(err, err);
      |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~

when the line in the tree clearly has only one "err". NIPA does
indeed have "nested" trees, because it uses git work-trees and
the tree on the "outside" is not very up to date.

<title>tracing/treewide: Remove second parameter of __assign_str()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2c92ca849fcc6ee7d0c358e9959abc9f58661aea</id>
<content type='text'>
With the rework of how the __string() handles dynamic strings where it
saves off the source string in field in the helper structure[1], the
assignment of that value to the trace event field is stored in the helper
value and does not need to be passed in again.

This means that with:

  __string(field, mystring)

Which use to be assigned with __assign_str(field, mystring), no longer
needs the second parameter and it is unused. With this, __assign_str()
will now only get a single parameter.

There's over 700 users of __assign_str() and because coccinelle does not
handle the TRACE_EVENT() macro I ended up using the following sed script:

  git grep -l __assign_str | while read a ; do
      sed -e 's/\(__assign_str([^,]*[^ ,]\) *,[^;]*/\1)/' $a &gt; /tmp/test-file;
      mv /tmp/test-file $a;
  done

I then searched for __assign_str() that did not end with ';' as those
were multi line assignments that the sed script above would fail to catch.

Note, the same updates will need to be done for:

  __assign_str_len()
  __assign_rel_str()
  __assign_rel_str_len()

I tested this with both an allmodconfig and an allyesconfig (build only for both).
