<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>

<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>scsi: aic94xx: fix use-after-free in device removal path</title>

<id>f6ab594672d4cba08540919a4e6be2e202b60007</id>
<content type='text'>
The asd_pci_remove() function fails to synchronize with pending tasklets
before freeing the asd_ha structure, leading to a potential
use-after-free vulnerability.

When a device removal is triggered (via hot-unplug or module unload),
race condition can occur.

The fix adds tasklet_kill() before freeing the asd_ha structure,
ensuring all scheduled tasklets complete before cleanup proceeds.

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

John Garry &lt;john.g.garry@oracle.com&gt; says:

There is much duplication in the scsi_host_template structure for the
drivers which use libsas.

Similar to how a standard template is used in libata with
__ATA_BASE_SHT, create a standard template in LIBSAS_SHT_BASE.
