<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>

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: ivtv: Fix invalid access to file *</title>

<id>c90fad3e4157f943b6d5842d3ceb20b32e566986</id>
<content type='text'>
Since commit 9ba9d11544f9 ("media: ivtv: Access v4l2_fh from file")
all ioctl handlers have been ported to operate on the file * first
function argument.

The ivtv DVB layer calls ivtv_init_on_first_open() when the driver
needs to start streaming. This function calls the s_input() and
s_frequency() ioctl handlers directly, but being called from the driver
context, it doesn't have a valid file * to pass them. This causes the
ioctl handlers to deference an invalid pointer.

Fix this by moving the implementation of those ioctls to two helper
functions.

The ivtv_do_s_input() helper accepts a struct ivtv * as first argument,
which is easily accessible in ivtv_init_on_first_open() as well as from
the file * argument of the ioctl handler.

The ivtv_s_frequency() takes an ivtv_stream * instead. The stream * can
safely be accessed in ivtv_init_on_first_open() where it is hard-coded
to the IVTV_ENC_STREAM_TYPE_MPG stream type, as well as from the ioctl
handler as a valid stream type is associated to each open file handle
depending on which video device node has been opened in the ivtv_open()
file operation.

The bug has been reported by Smatch.

The FSF does not reside in 59 Temple Place anymore, so we should
not ask the people to write to that address in case they need a
copy of the GPL.

Anyway, all other files in this directory already had their boilerplate
text replaced by a proper SPDX tag in the earlier commit 1a59d1b8e05ea
("treewide: Replace GPLv2 boilerplate/reference with SPDX - rule 156"),
so let's do the same in the remaining files now, too.

The DMA map functions can fail and should be tested for errors.
If the mapping fails, free blanking_ptr and set it to 0.  As 0 is a
valid DMA address, use blanking_ptr to test if the DMA address
is set.

Multiple drivers that use v4l2_fh and call v4l2_fh_del() manually reset
the file-&gt;private_data pointer to NULL in their video device .release()

drivers. This requires adding a file pointer argument to the function.

Changes to drivers have been generated with the following coccinelle
semantic patch:

@@
expression fh;
identifier filp;
identifier open;
type ret;
@@
ret open(..., struct file *filp, ...)
{
	&lt;...
-	filp-&gt;private_data = fh;
	...
-	v4l2_fh_add(fh);
+	v4l2_fh_add(fh, filp);
	...&gt;
}

@@
expression fh;
identifier filp;

ret open(..., struct file *filp, ...)

-	v4l2_fh_add(fh);
+	v4l2_fh_add(fh, filp);
	...
-	filp-&gt;private_data = fh;
	...&gt;
}

Manual changes have been applied to Documentation/ to update the usage
patterns, to drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-fh.c to update the
v4l2_fh_add() prototype set file-&gt;private_data, and to
include/media/v4l2-fh.h to update the v4l2_fh_add() function prototype
and its documentation.

Additionally, white space issues have been fixed manually in
drivers/media/platform/nvidia/tegra-vde/v4l2.c,
drivers/media/platform/rockchip/rkvdec/rkvdec.c,
drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-fh.c and
drivers/staging/most/video/video.c.

The ivtv driver has a structure named ivtv_open_id that models an open
file handle for the device. It embeds a v4l2_fh instance for file
handles that correspond to a V4L2 video device, and stores a pointer to
that v4l2_fh in struct ivtv_stream to identify which open file handle
owns a particular stream.

In addition to video devices, streams can be owned by ALSA PCM devices.
Those devices do not make use of the v4l2_fh instance for obvious
reasons, but the snd_ivtv_pcm_capture_open() function still initializes
a "fake" v4l2_fh for the sole purpose of using it as an open file handle
identifier. The v4l2_fh is not properly destroyed when the ALSA PCM
device is closed, leading to possible resource leaks.

Fortunately, the v4l2_fh instance pointed to by ivtv_stream is not
accessed, only the pointer value is used for comparison. Replace it with
a pointer to the ivtv_open_id structure that embeds the v4l2_fh, and
don't initialize the v4l2_fh for ALSA PCM devices.
