<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>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<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>media: pwc: remove useless header files</title>

It was originally intended to introduce simple_strtol,
but since commit a081c3400ff2 ("[media] pwc: Remove dev_hint
module parameter"), that simple_strtol has been removed,
so in order to prevent disputes, the header file should be removed.

<title>media: usb: drop vb2_ops_wait_prepare/finish</title>

<id>urn:sha1:30e932f5d942e7ed1424596b44f947734fa36d94</id>
<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 vb2_queue_init() will expect the vb2_queue lock pointer to be set in
the future. So for those drivers that set the lock later, move it up to
before the vb2_queue_init() call.

<title>media: usb: pwc-uncompress: Use flex array destination for memcpy()</title>

<content type='text'>
In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE performing run-time destination buffer
bounds checking for memcpy(), specify the destination output buffer
explicitly, instead of asking memcpy() to write past the end of what looked
like a fixed-size object.

Notice that raw_frame is a pointer to a structure that contains
flexible-array member rawframe[]:

drivers/media/usb/pwc/pwc.h:
190 struct pwc_raw_frame {
191         __le16 type;            /* type of the webcam */
192         __le16 vbandlength;     /* Size of 4 lines compressed (used by the
193                                    decompressor) */
194         __u8   cmd[4];          /* the four byte of the command (in case of
195                                    nala, only the first 3 bytes is filled) */
196         __u8   rawframe[];      /* frame_size = H / 4 * vbandlength */
197 } __packed;

<title>media: Kconfig: cleanup VIDEO_DEV dependencies</title>
<updated>2022-03-18T04:58:35Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Mauro Carvalho Chehab</name>
</author>
<published>2022-03-13T06:25:46Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=9958d30f38b96fb763a10d44d18ddad39127d5f4'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9958d30f38b96fb763a10d44d18ddad39127d5f4</id>
<content type='text'>
media Kconfig has two entries associated to V4L API:
VIDEO_DEV and VIDEO_V4L2.

On Kernel 2.6.x, there were two V4L APIs, each one with its own flag.
VIDEO_DEV were meant to:
	1) enable Video4Linux and make its Kconfig options to appear;
	2) it makes the Kernel build the V4L core.

while VIDEO_V4L2 where used to distinguish between drivers that
implement the newer API and drivers that implemented the former one.

With time, such meaning changed, specially after the removal of
all V4L version 1 drivers.

At the current implementation, VIDEO_DEV only does (1): it enables
the media options related to V4L, that now has:

	menu "Video4Linux options"
		visible if VIDEO_DEV

	source "drivers/media/v4l2-core/Kconfig"
	endmenu

but it doesn't affect anymore the V4L core drivers.

The rationale is that the V4L2 core has a "soft" dependency
at the I2C bus, and now requires to select a number of other
Kconfig options:

	config VIDEO_V4L2
		tristate
		depends on (I2C || I2C=n) &amp;&amp; VIDEO_DEV
		select RATIONAL
		select VIDEOBUF2_V4L2 if VIDEOBUF2_CORE
		default (I2C || I2C=n) &amp;&amp; VIDEO_DEV

In the past, merging them would be tricky, but it seems that it is now
possible to merge those symbols, in order to simplify V4L dependencies.

Let's keep VIDEO_DEV, as this one is used on some make *defconfig
configurations.

<title>media: usb: pwc-uncompress: Use struct_size() helper in pwc_decompress()</title>

Make use of the struct_size() helper instead of an open-coded version,
in order to avoid any potential type mistakes or integer overflows that,
in the worst scenario, could lead to heap overflows.

Also, address the following sparse warnings:
drivers/media/usb/pwc/pwc-uncompress.c:44:44: warning: using sizeof on a flexible structure

<title>treewide: remove editor modelines and cruft</title>

<content type='text'>
The section "19) Editor modelines and other cruft" in
Documentation/process/coding-style.rst clearly says, "Do not include any
of these in source files."

I recently receive a patch to explicitly add a new one.

Let's do treewide cleanups, otherwise some people follow the existing code
and attempt to upstream their favoriate editor setups.

It is even nicer if scripts/checkpatch.pl can check it.

If we like to impose coding style in an editor-independent manner, I think
editorconfig (patch [1]) is a saner solution.
