<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>net: move misc netdev_lock flavors to a separate header</title>

Move the more esoteric helpers for netdev instance lock to
a dedicated header. This avoids growing netdevice.h to infinity
and makes rebuilding the kernel much faster (after touching
the header with the helpers).

The main netdev_lock() / netdev_unlock() functions are used
in static inlines in netdevice.h and will probably be used
most commonly, so keep them in netdevice.h.

There is no fundamental reason, why multi-buffer XDP and XDP kfunc RX hints
cannot coexist in a single program.

Allow those features to be used together by modifying the flags condition
for dev-bound-only programs, segments are still prohibited for fully
offloaded programs, hence additional check.

Add new xdp-rx-metadata-features member to netdev netlink
which exports a bitmask of supported kfuncs. Most of the patch
is autogenerated (headers), the only relevant part is netdev.yaml
and the changes in netdev-genl.c to marshal into netlink.

Example output on veth:

$ ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1 # ifndex == 12
$ ./tools/net/ynl/samples/netdev 12

Select ifc ($ifindex; or 0 = dump; or -2 ntf check): 12

No functional changes.

Instead of having hand-crafted code in bpf_dev_bound_resolve_kfunc,
move kfunc &lt;&gt; xmo handler relationship into XDP_METADATA_KFUNC_xxx.
This way, any time new kfunc is added, we don't have to touch
bpf_dev_bound_resolve_kfunc.

Also document XDP_METADATA_KFUNC_xxx arguments since we now have
more than two and it might be confusing what is what.
