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. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
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*'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<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 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 *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>

We will be shortly removing the vm_flags_t field from vm_area_desc so we need to update all mmap_prepare users to only use the dessc->vma_flags field. This patch achieves that and makes all ancillary changes required to make this possible. This lays the groundwork for future work to eliminate the use of vm_flags_t in vm_area_desc altogether and more broadly throughout the kernel. While we're here, we take the opportunity to replace VM_REMAP_FLAGS with VMA_REMAP_FLAGS, the vma_flags_t equivalent. No functional changes intended.

"fsverity cleanups, speedup, and memory usage optimization from
Christoph Hellwig:
- Move some logic into common code
- Fix btrfs to reject truncates of fsverity files

don't have fsverity enabled.

"New features and improvements for the ext4 file system
- Avoid unnecessary cache invalidation in the extent status cache
(es_cache) when adding extents to be cached in the es_cache and we
are not changing the extent tree
- Add a sysfs parameter, err_report_sec, to control how frequently to
log a warning message that file system inconsistency has been
detected (Previously we logged the warning message every 24 hours)
- Avoid unnecessary forced ordered writes when appending to a file
when delayed allocation is enabled
- Defer splitting unwritten extents to I/O completion to improve
write performance of concurrent direct I/O writes to multiple files
- Refactor and add kunit tests to the extent splitting and conversion
code paths
Various Bug Fixes:
- Fix a panic when the debugging DOUBLE_CHECK macro is defined
- Avoid using fast commit for rare and complex file system operations
to make fast commit easier to reason about. This can also avoid
some corner cases that could result in file system inconsistency if
there is a crash between the fast commit before a subsequent full
commit
- Fix memory leaks in error paths
- Fix a false positive reports caused when running stress tests using
mixed huge-page workloads caused by a race between page migration
and bitmap updates
- Fix a potential recursion into file system reclaim when evicting an
inode when fast commit is enabled
- Fix a warning caused by a potential double decrement to the dirty
clusters counter when executing FS_IOC_SHUTDOWN when running a
stress test
- Enable mballoc optimized scanning regardless whether the inode is
using indirect blocks or extent trees to map blocks"
