<title>scsi: snic: Fix SCSI host leak on workqueue allocation failure</title>

<id>12e67eb89eb2b9516685c744d3f7de0a2d1bd701</id>
<content type='text'>
In snic_add_host(), if scsi_add_host() succeeds but
alloc_ordered_workqueue() fails, the function returns -ENOMEM with
shost-&gt;work_q left as NULL. The caller's error path then calls
snic_del_host(), which returns early when !shost-&gt;work_q without calling
scsi_remove_host(). The Scsi_Host remains registered in sysfs as a zombie
device even after the probe has failed. This causes:

 - The leaked host remains visible in /sys/class/scsi_host/ after probe
   failure, with state "running".

 - Subsequent SCSI host numbering is permanently shifted (the leaked host
   ID from ida_alloc() is never reclaimed).

 - Memory leak: the Scsi_Host allocation can never be freed because
   device_add() took a reference that can only be released by device_del()
   inside scsi_remove_host().

Fix by adding scsi_remove_host() in the workqueue allocation failure path
inside snic_add_host(), undoing the successful scsi_add_host() before
returning the error. This is cleaner than modifying snic_del_host() because
snic_del_host() is called from a shared error label that also serves paths
where snic_add_host() was never invoked.

Reproducer (requires no real SNIC hardware):

 - Build CONFIG_SCSI_SNIC=y (built-in)

 - Add snic.test_mode=1 snic.inject_wq_fail=1 to kernel cmdline

 - Boot with a PCI device matching the snic driver (e.g. QEMU edu device,
   PCI ID 0x1234:0x11e8, temporarily added to the driver's PCI ID table)

Before the fix:

  # /sys/class/scsi_host/ contains a zombie host0:
  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/proc_name
  snic_scsi
  $ cat /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/state
  running
  # ata_piix gets host1, host2 (host0 stuck):
  scsi host1: ata_piix
  scsi host2: ata_piix

After the fix:

  # host0 is properly freed and reused by ata_piix:
  scsi host0: ata_piix
  scsi host1: ata_piix
  # No zombie host in /sys/class/scsi_host/

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

<id>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>

<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: Change the return type of the .queuecommand() callback</title>

<content type='text'>
In clang version 21.1 and later the -Wimplicit-enum-enum-cast warning
option has been introduced. This warning is enabled by default and can
be used to catch .queuecommand() implementations that return another
value than 0 or one of the SCSI_MLQUEUE_* constants. Hence this patch
that changes the return type of the .queuecommand() implementations from
'int' into 'enum scsi_qc_status'. No functionality has been changed.

<title>scsi: Convert SCSI drivers to .sdev_configure()</title>

<content type='text'>
The only difference between the .sdev_configure() and .slave_configure()
methods is that the former accepts an additional 'limits' argument.
Convert all SCSI drivers that define a .slave_configure() method to
.sdev_configure(). This patch prepares for removing the
.slave_configure() method. No functionality has been changed.
