<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

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 *".

The second argument to the ioctl handlers is not a file handle any more.
Rename it from 'void *fh' to 'void *priv', to avoid misconceptions. This
is particularly important in test drivers as they are meant to be used
as reference implementations.

<content type='text'>
Since commit 88785982a19d ("media: vb2: use lock if wait_prepare/finish
are NULL") it is no longer needed to set the wait_prepare/finish
vb2_ops callbacks as long as the lock field in vb2_queue is set.

Since the vb2_ops_wait_prepare/finish callbacks already rely on that field,
we can safely drop these callbacks.

This simplifies the code and this is a step towards the goal of deleting
these callbacks.

The vimc_ent_type structure contains static pointers to functions, and
no other information that need to be modified after initialization. Make
them const to avoid the risk of arbitrary code execution following an

<title>media: test-drivers: Set REQBUFS minimum number of buffers</title>

<content type='text'>
Instead of using 'min_queued_buffers' field to specify the
minimum number of buffers to be allocated when calling REQBUF
use 'min_reqbufs_allocation' field which is dedicated to this
purpose.

Change the minimum requested buffers to 2 for vivid-meta-out
and vivid-touch-cap drivers when creating the queues.
That allows to remove code which prohibe to allocate only
one buffer in their respective queue setup functions.

While at it rename vivid_create_queue() parameter.
