[ Upstream commit 8cf5dd235eff6008cb04c3d8064d2acfa90616f1 ]

The device name allocated via kzalloc() in init_one_mc() is assigned to
dev-&gt;init_name but never freed on the normal removal path.  device_register()
copies init_name and then sets dev-&gt;init_name to NULL, so the name pointer
becomes unreachable from the device. Thus leaking memory.

Use a stack-local char array instead of using kzalloc() for name.

[ Upstream commit 62a9fc50e8d947601ea3484e732b1a65a0a54b96 ]

Simplify the initialization and cleanup flow for Versal Net DDRMC
controllers in the EDAC driver by carving out the single controller init
into a separate function which allows for a much better and more
readable error handling and unwinding.

  [ bp:
	- do the kzalloc allocations first
	- "publish" the structures only after they've been initialized
	  properly so that you don't need to unwind unnecessarily when
	  it fails later
	- remove_versalnet() is now trivial

commit 1b6f292cb94d95c9bc22e1efe592daf62c60bc2e upstream.

The mcdi object allocated using kzalloc() in the setup_mcdi() is not freed in
the remove path or in probe's error handling path leading to a memory leak.
Fix it by freeing the allocated memory.

commit 5c709b376460ff322580c41600e31c02f7cc0307 upstream.

of_parse_phandle() returns a device_node reference that must be released with
of_node_put(). The original code never freed r5_core_node on any exit path,
causing a memory leak.

Fix this by using the automatic cleanup attribute __free(device_node) which
ensures of_node_put() is called when the variable goes out of scope.

<title>EDAC/mc: Fix error path ordering in edac_mc_alloc()</title>

When the mci-&gt;pvt_info allocation in edac_mc_alloc() fails, the error path
will call put_device() which will end up calling the device's release
function.

However, the init ordering is wrong such that device_initialize() happens
*after* the failed allocation and thus the device itself and the release
function pointer are not initialized yet when they're called:

  MCE: In-kernel MCE decoding enabled.
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  kobject: '(null)': is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called.
  WARNING: lib/kobject.c:734 at kobject_put, CPU#22: systemd-udevd

Reorder the calling sequence so that the device is initialized and thus the
release function pointer is properly set before it can be used.

This was found by Claude while reviewing another EDAC patch.

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

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.

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.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

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 *".
