<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 *".

Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:

 - pid: introduce task_ppid_vnr() helper

 - pidfs: convert rb-tree to rhashtable

   Mateusz reported performance penalties during task creation because
   pidfs uses pidmap_lock to add elements into the rbtree. Switch to an
   rhashtable to have separate fine-grained locking and to decouple from
   pidmap_lock moving all heavy manipulations outside of it

   Also move inode allocation outside of pidmap_lock. With this there's
   nothing happening for pidfs under pidmap_lock

 - pid: reorder fields in pid_namespace to reduce false sharing

 - Revert "pid: make __task_pid_nr_ns(ns =&gt; NULL) safe for zombie
   callers"

 - ipc: Add SPDX license id to mqueue.c

Pull persistent dentry infrastructure and conversion from Al Viro:
 "Some filesystems use a kinda-sorta controlled dentry refcount leak to
  pin dentries of created objects in dcache (and undo it when removing
  those). A reference is grabbed and not released, but it's not actually
  _stored_ anywhere.

  That works, but it's hard to follow and verify; among other things, we
  have no way to tell _which_ of the increments is intended to be an
  unpaired one. Worse, on removal we need to decide whether the
  reference had already been dropped, which can be non-trivial if that
  removal is on umount and we need to figure out if this dentry is
  pinned due to e.g. unlink() not done. Usually that is handled by using
  kill_litter_super() as -&gt;kill_sb(), but there are open-coded special
  cases of the same (consider e.g. /proc/self).

  Things get simpler if we introduce a new dentry flag
  (DCACHE_PERSISTENT) marking those "leaked" dentries. Having it set
  claims responsibility for +1 in refcount.

  The end result this series is aiming for:

   - get these unbalanced dget() and dput() replaced with new primitives
     that would, in addition to adjusting refcount, set and clear
     persistency flag.

   - instead of having kill_litter_super() mess with removing the
     remaining "leaked" references (e.g. for all tmpfs files that hadn't
     been removed prior to umount), have the regular
     shrink_dcache_for_umount() strip DCACHE_PERSISTENT of all dentries,
     dropping the corresponding reference if it had been set. After that
     kill_litter_super() becomes an equivalent of kill_anon_super().

  Doing that in a single step is not feasible - it would affect too many
  places in too many filesystems. It has to be split into a series.

  This work has really started early in 2024; quite a few preliminary
  pieces have already gone into mainline. This chunk is finally getting
  to the meat of that stuff - infrastructure and most of the conversions
  to it.

  Some pieces are still sitting in the local branches, but the bulk of
  that stuff is here"

The ro variable, being of type bool, caused the -EROFS return value from
mnt_want_write() to be implicitly converted to 1. This prevented the file
from being correctly acquired, thus triggering the issue reported by
syzbot [1].

Changing the type of ro to int allows the system to correctly identify
the reason for the file open failure.

Pull fd prepare updates from Christian Brauner:

  common pattern of get_unused_fd_flags() + create file + fd_install()
  that is used extensively throughout the kernel and currently requires
  cumbersome cleanup paths.

  FD_ADD() - For simple cases where a file is installed immediately:

      fd = FD_ADD(O_CLOEXEC, vfio_device_open_file(device));
      if (fd &lt; 0)
          vfio_device_put_registration(device);
      return fd;

  FD_PREPARE() - For cases requiring access to the fd or file, or
  additional work before publishing:

      FD_PREPARE(fdf, O_CLOEXEC, sync_file-&gt;file);
      if (fdf.err) {
          fput(sync_file-&gt;file);
          return fdf.err;

      data.fence = fd_prepare_fd(fdf);
      if (copy_to_user((void __user *)arg, &amp;data, sizeof(data)))
          return -EFAULT;

      return fd_publish(fdf);

  The primitives are centered around struct fd_prepare. FD_PREPARE()
  encapsulates all allocation and cleanup logic and must be followed by
  a call to fd_publish() which associates the fd with the file and
  installs it into the caller's fdtable. If fd_publish() isn't called,
  both are deallocated automatically. FD_ADD() is a shorthand that does
  fd_publish() immediately and never exposes the struct to the caller.

  I've implemented this in a way that it's compatible with the cleanup
  infrastructure while also being usable separately. IOW, it's centered
  around struct fd_prepare which is aliased to class_fd_prepare_t and so
  we can make use of all the basica guard infrastructure"
