<content type='text'>
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>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<id>urn:sha1:69050f8d6d075dc01af7a5f2f550a8067510366f</id>
<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 *".

Many USB network drivers use identical code to pass ioctl
requests on to the MII layer. Reduce code duplication by
refactoring this code into a helper function.

<id>urn:sha1:44ecaff55282ed89f9ea94036563249961bf2343</id>
<content type='text'>
Many USB network drivers define get_drvinfo functions which add no
value over usbnet_get_drvinfo, only setting the driver name and
version. usbnet_get_drvinfo automatically sets the driver name, and
separate driver versions are now frowned upon in the kernel. Remove all
driver versions and replace these get_drvinfo functions with references
to usbnet_get_drvinfo where possible. Where that is not possible,
remove unnecessary code to set the driver name. Also remove two
unnecessary initializations from aqc111_get_drvinfo, an inaccurate
comment in pegasus.c, and an unused macro in catc.c.

Both lan78xx and smsc75xx have a 'usb_context'
struct which is unused, since their original commits.

Remove them.

<content type='text'>
Some usb drivers try to set small skb-&gt;truesize and break
core networking stacks.

In this patch, I removed one of the skb-&gt;truesize override.

I also replaced one skb_clone() by an allocation of a fresh
and small skb, to get minimally sized skbs, like we did
in commit 1e2c61172342 ("net: cdc_ncm: reduce skb truesize
in rx path") and 4ce62d5b2f7a ("net: usb: ax88179_178a:
stop lying about skb-&gt;truesize")

This issue is caused because usbnet_read_cmd() reads less bytes than requested
(zero byte in the reproducer). In this case, 'buf' is not properly filled.

This patch fixes the issue by returning -ENODATA if usbnet_read_cmd() reads
less bytes than requested.
