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

<id>bf4afc53b77aeaa48b5409da5c8da6bb4eff7f43</id>

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 *".

Convert the Cavium Thunder NIC VF driver to use the new .get_rx_ring_count
ethtool operation instead of implementing .get_rxnfc solely for handling
ETHTOOL_GRXRINGS command. This simplifies the code by removing the
switch statement and replacing it with a direct return of the queue
count.

The new callback provides the same functionality in a more direct way,
following the ongoing ethtool API modernization.

stores configuration in private data, so it's possible to report it back
to users. Implement both ndo_hwtstamp_set and ndo_hwtstamp_get

All paths in probe that call goto defer do so before assigning phydev
and thus it makes sense to cleanup the prior index. It also fixes a bug
where index 0 does not get cleaned up.

The buffer bgx_sel used in snprintf() was too small to safely hold
the formatted string "BGX%d" for all valid bgx_id values. This caused
a -Wformat-truncation warning with `Werror` enabled during build.

Increase the buffer size from 5 to 7 and use `sizeof(bgx_sel)` in
snprintf() to ensure safety and suppress the warning.

<title>net: thunderx: avoid direct MTU assignment after WRITE_ONCE()</title>

<content type='text'>
The current logic in nicvf_change_mtu() writes the new MTU to
netdev-&gt;mtu using WRITE_ONCE() before verifying if the hardware
update succeeds. However on hardware update failure, it attempts
to revert to the original MTU using a direct assignment
(netdev-&gt;mtu = orig_mtu)
which violates the intended of WRITE_ONCE protection introduced in
commit 1eb2cded45b3 ("net: annotate writes on dev-&gt;mtu from
ndo_change_mtu()")

Additionally, WRITE_ONCE(netdev-&gt;mtu, new_mtu) is unnecessarily
performed even when the device is not running.

Fix this by:
  Only writing netdev-&gt;mtu after successfully updating the hardware.
  Skipping hardware update when the device is down, and setting MTU
  directly. Remove unused variable orig_mtu.

This ensures that all writes to netdev-&gt;mtu are consistent with
WRITE_ONCE expectations and avoids unintended state corruption
on failure paths.
