bond_header_parse() can loop if a stack of two bonding devices is setup,
because skb-&gt;dev always points to the hierarchy top.

Add new "const struct net_device *dev" parameter to
(struct header_ops)-&gt;parse() method to make sure the recursion
is bounded, and that the final leaf parse method is called.

<title>firewire: ohci: initialize page array to use alloc_pages_bulk() correctly</title>

The call of alloc_pages_bulk() skips to fill entries of page array when
the entries already have values. While, 1394 OHCI PCI driver passes the
page array without initializing. It could cause invalid state at PFN
validation in vmap().

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.

<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 *".

Pull firewire updates from Takashi Sakamoto:

 - Refactor page allocation dedicated to 1394 OHCI IR/IT/AR DMA contexts

   Although 1394 OHCI specification does not impose any restriction on
   the memory size dedicated to these DMA contexts, 1394 OHCI PCI driver
   allocates pages for convenience when mapping them into either kernel
   space or userspace VMA. The driver previously used dma_alloc_pages()
   for both page allocation and mapping creation, even though this
   kernel API is rarely used. Following discussions questioning the
   page-oriented kernel API in the DMA layer, the driver has been
   refactored to avoid using this API. In addition, the use of private
   members in the allocated pages has been removed following
   long-standing concern.

 - Allocate variable-sized buffer for isochronous context header

   1394 OHCI PCI driver previously allocated a single page for
   isochronous context header. As a result, the buffer size for the
   header was fixed to PAGE_SIZE, which imposed a limitation on IEC
   61883-1/6 packet streaming engine. Consequently, the ALSA PCM devices
   provided by drivers for audio and music units in IEEE 1394 bus were
   constrained in the maximum size of buffer period (64 ms in most
   cases). This limitation is resolved by dynamically allocating the
   header buffer with an arbitrary size.

<title>firewire: core: fix race condition against transaction list</title>

The list of transaction is enumerated without acquiring card lock when
processing AR response event. This causes a race condition bug when
processing AT request completion event concurrently.

This commit fixes the bug by put timer start for split transaction
expiration into the scope of lock. The value of jiffies in card structure
is referred before acquiring the lock.

Fixes: b5725cfa4120 ("firewire: core: use spin lock specific to timer for split transaction")

<title>scsi: Change the return type of the .queuecommand() callback</title>

In clang version 21.1 and later the -Wimplicit-enum-enum-cast warning
option has been introduced. This warning is enabled by default and can
be used to catch .queuecommand() implementations that return another
value than 0 or one of the SCSI_MLQUEUE_* constants. Hence this patch
that changes the return type of the .queuecommand() implementations from
'int' into 'enum scsi_qc_status'. No functionality has been changed.
