This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

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

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 *".

<title>libceph: adapt ceph_x_challenge_blob hashing and msgr1 message signing</title>

<id>8356b4b1103b8c970648c94bab724aa30e42d869</id>
<content type='text'>
The existing approach where ceph_x_challenge_blob is encrypted with the
client's secret key and then the digest derived from the ciphertext is
used for the test doesn't work with CEPH_CRYPTO_AES256KRB5 because the
confounder randomizes the ciphertext: the client and the server get two
different ciphertexts and therefore two different digests.

msgr1 signatures are affected the same way: a digest derived from the
ciphertext for the message's "sigblock" is what becomes a signature and
the two sides disagree on the expected value.

For CEPH_CRYPTO_AES256KRB5 (and potential future encryption schemes),
switch to HMAC-SHA256 function keyed in the same way as the existing
encryption.  For CEPH_CRYPTO_AES, everything is preserved as is.

This is based on AES256-CTS-HMAC384-192 crypto algorithm per RFC 8009
(i.e. Kerberos 5, hence the name) with custom-defined key usage numbers.
The implementation allows a given key to have/be linked to between one
and three usage numbers.

The existing CEPH_CRYPTO_AES remains in place and unchanged.  The
usage_slot parameter that needed to be added to ceph_crypt() and its
wrappers is simply ignored there.

In preparation for bringing in a new encryption scheme/key type,
decouple decoding or cloning the key from allocating required crypto
API objects and setting them up.  The rationale is that a) in some
cases a shallow clone is sufficient and b) ceph_crypto_key_prepare()
may grow additional parameters that would be inconvenient to provide
at the point the key is originally decoded.

<title>libceph: generalize ceph_x_encrypt_offset() and ceph_x_encrypt_buflen()</title>

- introduce the notion of a data offset for ceph_x_encrypt_offset()
  to allow for e.g. confounder to be prepended before the encryption
  header in the future.  For CEPH_CRYPTO_AES, the data offset is 0
  (i.e. nothing is prepended).

- adjust ceph_x_encrypt_buflen() accordingly and make it account for
  PKCS#7 padding that is used by CEPH_CRYPTO_AES precisely instead of
  just always adding 16.

<title>libceph: define and enforce CEPH_MAX_KEY_LEN</title>

When decoding the key, verify that the key material would fit into
a fixed-size buffer in process_auth_done() and generally has a sane
length.

The new CEPH_MAX_KEY_LEN check replaces the existing check for a key
with no key material which is a) not universal since CEPH_CRYPTO_NONE
has to be excluded and b) doesn't provide much value since a smaller
than needed key is just as invalid as no key -- this has to be handled
elsewhere anyway.

<title>libceph: make calc_target() set t-&gt;paused, not just clear it</title>

<id>c0fe2994f9a9d0a2ec9e42441ea5ba74b6a16176</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently calc_target() clears t-&gt;paused if the request shouldn't be
paused anymore, but doesn't ever set t-&gt;paused even though it's able to
determine when the request should be paused.  Setting t-&gt;paused is left
to __submit_request() which is fine for regular requests but doesn't
work for linger requests -- since __submit_request() doesn't operate
on linger requests, there is nowhere for lreq-&gt;t.paused to be set.
One consequence of this is that watches don't get reestablished on
paused -&gt; unpaused transitions in cases where requests have been paused
long enough for the (paused) unwatch request to time out and for the
subsequent (re)watch request to enter the paused state.  On top of the
watch not getting reestablished, rbd_reregister_watch() gets stuck with
rbd_dev-&gt;watch_mutex held:

  rbd_register_watch
    __rbd_register_watch
      ceph_osdc_watch
        linger_reg_commit_wait

It's waiting for lreq-&gt;reg_commit_wait to be completed, but for that to
happen the respective request needs to end up on need_resend_linger list
and be kicked when requests are unpaused.  There is no chance for that
if the request in question is never marked paused in the first place.

The fact that rbd_dev-&gt;watch_mutex remains taken out forever then
prevents the image from getting unmapped -- "rbd unmap" would inevitably
hang in D state on an attempt to grab the mutex.

<content type='text'>
When a fault occurs, the connection is abandoned, reestablished, and any
pending operations are retried. The OSD client tracks the progress of a
sparse-read reply using a separate state machine, largely independent of
the messenger's state.

If a connection is lost mid-payload or the sparse-read state machine
returns an error, the sparse-read state is not reset. The OSD client
will then interpret the beginning of a new reply as the continuation of
the old one. If this makes the sparse-read machinery enter a failure
state, it may never recover, producing loops like:

  libceph:  [0] got 0 extents
  libceph: data len 142248331 != extent len 0
  libceph: osd0 (1)...:6801 socket error on read
  libceph: data len 142248331 != extent len 0
  libceph: osd0 (1)...:6801 socket error on read

Therefore, reset the sparse-read state in osd_fault(), ensuring retries
start from a clean state.
