<content type='text'>
Replace the #include of &lt;linux/mod_devicetable.h&gt; by the more specific
&lt;linux/device-id/*.h&gt; where applicable. For most cases the include
can be dropped completely, only a few drivers need one or two headers
added.

<title>media: sun4i-csi: Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure</title>

<id>urn:sha1:bbba3e260a62810a717b4442a3bb96d0ec0f6309</id>
<content type='text'>
The vb2 framework hands buffers to the driver via buf_queue() before
calling start_streaming().  If start_streaming() returns an error
without first returning those buffers via vb2_buffer_done(),
vb2_start_streaming() fires WARN_ON(owned_by_drv_count) and the queued
buffers leak.

sun4i_csi_start_streaming() returned -EINVAL when no matching CSI
format could be found, before any setup (scratch buffer allocation,
pipeline start) had been performed.  The remaining error paths already
converge on the err_clear_dma_queue label, which calls
return_all_buffers(..., VB2_BUF_STATE_QUEUED) under csi-&gt;qlock.  Jump
to that label directly: the intermediate err_disable_device /
err_disable_pipeline / err_free_scratch_buffer labels are skipped,
which is correct because nothing they would undo has happened yet.

This mirrors the uvcvideo fix in commit 4cf3b6fd54eb ("media: uvcvideo:
Return queued buffers on start_streaming() failure").

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

<id>urn:sha1: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>

<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 *".

<title>media: v4l2-mem2mem: Don't copy frame flags in v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1fdb55ed40fa5ebe6934bd6b93036c714ebb5ef8</id>
<content type='text'>
The v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata() function takes a boolean
copy_frame_flags argument. When true, it causes the function to copy the
V4L2_BUF_FLAG_KEYFRAME, V4L2_BUF_FLAG_BFRAME and V4L2_BUF_FLAG_PFRAME
flags from the output buffer to the capture buffer.

There is no use cases in any upstream driver for copying the flags.
KEY/P/B frames are properties of the bitstream buffer in some formats.
Once decoded, this is no longer a property of the video frame and should
be discarded.

It was considered useful to know if an uncompressed frame was decoded
from a KEY/P/B compressed frame, and to preserve that information if
that same uncompressed frame was passed through another M2M device (e.g.
a scaler). However, the V4L2 documentation makes it clear that the flags
are meant for compressed frames only.

Drop the copy_frame_flags argument from v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata().
The change to drivers was performed with the following Coccinelle
semantic patch:

@@
expression src;
expression dst;
expression flag;
@@
-       v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata(src, dst, flag);
+       v4l2_m2m_buf_copy_metadata(src, dst);

include/media/v4l2-mem2mem.h and drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-mem2mem.c
have been updated manually.

<title>media: v4l2: Rename second ioctl handlers argument to 'void *priv'</title>

<content type='text'>
The second argument to the ioctl handlers is not a file handle any more.
The standard practice is to name it 'void *priv' in drivers. Many
drivers still name it 'void *fh', and a few use more exotic names.
Replace those more exotic names with 'void *priv' in all media drivers.

Multiple drivers that use v4l2_fh and call v4l2_fh_del() manually reset
the file-&gt;private_data pointer to NULL in their video device .release()
file operation handler. Move the code to the v4l2_fh_del() function to

adding a file pointer argument to the function.

Accessing file-&gt;private_data manually to retrieve the v4l2_fh pointer is
error-prone, as the field is a void * and will happily cast implicitly
to any pointer type.

Replace all remaining locations that read the v4l2_fh pointer directly
from file-&gt;private_data and cast it to driver-specific file handle
structures with driver-specific functions that use file_to_v4l2_fh() and
perform the same cast.

No functional change is intended, this only paves the way to remove
direct accesses to file-&gt;private_data and make V4L2 drivers safer.
Other accesses to the field will be addressed separately.
