nci_close_device() flushes rx_wq and tx_wq while holding req_lock.
This causes a circular locking dependency because nci_rx_work()
running on rx_wq can end up taking req_lock too:

  nci_rx_work -&gt; nci_rx_data_packet -&gt; nci_data_exchange_complete
    -&gt; __sk_destruct -&gt; rawsock_destruct -&gt; nfc_deactivate_target
    -&gt; nci_deactivate_target -&gt; nci_request -&gt; mutex_lock(&amp;ndev-&gt;req_lock)

Move the flush of rx_wq after req_lock has been released.
This should safe (I think) because NCI_UP has already been cleared
and the transport is closed, so the work will see it and return
-ENETDOWN.

NIPA has been hitting this running the nci selftest with a debug
kernel on roughly 4% of the runs.

<title>nfc: rawsock: cancel tx_work before socket teardown</title>

In rawsock_release(), cancel any pending tx_work and purge the write
queue before orphaning the socket.  rawsock_tx_work runs on the system
workqueue and calls nfc_data_exchange which dereferences the NCI
device.  Without synchronization, tx_work can race with socket and
device teardown when a process is killed (e.g. by SIGKILL), leading
to use-after-free or leaked references.

Set SEND_SHUTDOWN first so that if tx_work is already running it will
see the flag and skip transmitting, then use cancel_work_sync to wait
for any in-progress execution to finish, and finally purge any
remaining queued skbs.

<title>nfc: nci: clear NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE before calling completion callback</title>

Move clear_bit(NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE) before invoking the data exchange
callback in nci_data_exchange_complete().

The callback (e.g. rawsock_data_exchange_complete) may immediately
schedule another data exchange via schedule_work(tx_work).  On a
multi-CPU system, tx_work can run and reach nci_transceive() before
the current nci_data_exchange_complete() clears the flag, causing
test_and_set_bit(NCI_DATA_EXCHANGE) to return -EBUSY and the new
transfer to fail.

This causes intermittent flakes in nci/nci_dev in NIPA:

  # #  RUN           NCI.NCI1_0.t4t_tag_read ...
  # # t4t_tag_read: Test terminated by timeout
  # #          FAIL  NCI.NCI1_0.t4t_tag_read

digital_in_send() takes ownership of the skb passed by the caller

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>net: nfc: nci: Fix parameter validation for packet data</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 9c328f54741b ("net: nfc: nci: Add parameter validation for
packet data") communication with nci nfc chips is not working any more.

The mentioned commit tries to fix access of uninitialized data, but
failed to understand that in some cases the data packet is of variable
length and can therefore not be compared to the maximum packet length
given by the sizeof(struct).
