It is not clear that all of the uses of LIBCFS_ALLOC really risk needing
vmalloc. For example:
lnet/klnds/socklnd/socklnd.c, function ksocknal_accept:
ksock_connreq_t *cr;
...
LIBCFS_ALLOC(cr, sizeof(*cr));
The definition of ksock_connreq_t is:
typedef struct ksock_connreq {
struct li
This patch fixes the following sparse warning:
drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/lib-socket.c:175:29:
warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)

When general-purpose kexec (not kdump) is being performed in Hyper-V guest
the newly booted kernel fails with an MCE error coming from the host. It
is the same error which was fixed in the "Drivers: hv: vmbus: Implement
the protocol for tearing down vmbus state" commit - mo

If some piece of code wants to check kexec_in_progress it has to be put
in #ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC block to not break the build in !CONFIG_KEXEC
case. Overcome this limitation by defining kexec_in_progress to false.

We already have hv_synic_free() which frees all per-cpu pages for all
CPUs, let's remove the hv_synic_free_cpu() call from hv_synic_cleanup()
so it will be possible to do separate cleanup (writing to MSRs) and final
freeing. This is going to be used to assist kexec.

In addition to enabling kexec, this patch-set has a bunch of miscellaneous
fixes.

The kfree() function was called in two cases by the mac_ioctl() function
during error handling even if the passed variable did not contain a pointer
for a valid data item.

The functions kfree() and release_firmware() test whether their argument
is NULL and then return immediately.
Thus the test around the calls is not needed.
This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
