Joe Perches baeb2ffab4 drivers/net: Convert unbounded kzalloc calls to kcalloc
These changes may be slightly safer in some instances.

There are other kzalloc calls with a multiply, but those
calls are typically "small fixed #" * sizeof(some pointer)"
and those are not converted.

Grant Likely 2dc1158137 of/device: Replace struct of_device with struct platform_device
of_device is just an alias for platform_device, so remove it entirely.  Also
replace to_of_device() with to_platform_device() and update comment blocks.

This patch was initially generated from the following semantic patch, and then

Brian King 3d8009c780 ehea: Allocate stats buffer with GFP_KERNEL
Since ehea_get_stats calls ehea_h_query_ehea_port, which

Jan-Bernd Themann 099473c16b ehea: Fix kernel deadlock in DLPAR-mem processing
Port reset operations and memory add/remove operations need to
be serialized to avoid a kernel deadlock. The deadlock is caused
by calling the napi_disable() function twice.
Therefore we have to employ the dlpar_mem_lock in the ehea_reset_port
function as well

Grant Likely 4018294b53 of: Remove duplicate fields from of_platform_driver
.name, .match_table and .owner are duplicated in both of_platform_driver
and device_driver.  This patch is a removes the extra copies from struct
of_platform_driver and converts all users to the device_driver members.

This patch is a pretty mechanical change.  The usage model doesn't change
and if any drivers have been missed, or if anything has been fixed up
incorrectly, then it will fail with a compile time error, and the fixup
will be trivial.  This patch looks big and scary because it touches so
many files, but it should be pretty safe.

Joe Perches a4b770972b drivers/net: Remove unnecessary returns from void function()s
This patch removes from drivers/net/ all the unnecessary
return; statements that precede the last closing brace of
void functions.

It does not remove the returns that are immediately
preceded by a label as gcc doesn't like that.

It also does not remove null void functions with return.

Done via:
$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -l "return;\n}" net/ | \
  xargs perl -i -e 'local $/ ; while (<>) { s/\n[ \t\n]+return;\n}/\n}/g; print; }'

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Jan-Bernd Themann 2f69ae01c8 ehea: fix race condition
When ehea_stop is called the function
cancel_work_sync(&port->reset_task) is used to ensure
that the reset task is not running anymore. We need an
additional flag to ensure that it can not be scheduled
after this call again for a certain time.

Jan-Bernd Themann 5c2cec143a ehea: fix might sleep problem
A mutex has to be replaced by spinlocks as it can be called from
a context which does not allow sleeping.
The kzalloc flag GFP_KERNEL has to be replaced by GFP_ATOMIC
for the same reason.

David S. Miller 4bb073c0e3 net: Eliminate flush_scheduled_work() calls while RTNL is held.
If the RTNL is held when we invoke flush_scheduled_work() we could
deadlock.  One such case is linkwatch, it is a work struct which tries
to grab the RTNL semaphore.

The most common case are net driver ->stop() methods.  The
simplest conversion is to instead use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync()
explicitly on the various work struct the driver uses.

This is an OK transformation because these work structs are doing
things like resetting the chip, restarting link negotiation, and so
forth.  And if we're bringing down the device, we're about to turn the
chip off and reset it anways.  So if we cancel a pending work event,
that's fine here.

Some drivers were working around this deadlock by using a msleep()
polling loop of some sort, and those cases are converted to instead
use cancel_{delayed_}work_sync() as well.

Jan-Bernd Themann 00aaea2f95 ehea: set mac address fix
eHEA has to call firmware functions in order to change the mac address
of a logical port. This patch checks if the logical port is up
when calling the register / deregister mac address calls. If the port
is down these firmware calls would fail and are therefore not executed.
