This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using
git grep -l '\<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.

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 *".

In preparation for making the kmalloc family of allocators type aware, we
need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation matches the
type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator would always
return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any pointer type.)
The assigned type is "const struct cpumask **", but the returned type,
while matching, is not const qualified. To get them exactly matching,
just use the dereferenced pointer for the sizeof().

As CPU core counts increase, the number of NVMe IRQs may be smaller than
the total number of CPUs. This forces multiple CPUs to share the same
IRQ. If the IRQ affinity and the CPU's cluster do not align, a
performance penalty can be observed on some platforms.
This patch improves IRQ affinity by grouping CPUs by cluster within each
NUMA domain, ensuring better locality between CPUs and their assigned NVMe
IRQs.
Details:
Intel Xeon E platform packs 4 CPU cores as 1 module (cluster) and share
the L2 cache. Let's say, if there are 40 CPUs in 1 NUMA domain and 11
IRQs to dispatch. The existing algorithm will map first 7 IRQs each with
4 CPUs and remained 4 IRQs each with 3 CPUs. The last 4 IRQs may have
cross cluster issue. For example, the 9th IRQ which pinned to CPU32, then
for CPU31, it will have cross L2 memory access.
CPU |28 29 30 31|32 33 34 35|36 ...
-------- -------- --------
IRQ 8 9 10
If this patch applied, then first 2 IRQs each mapped with 2 CPUs and rest
9 IRQs each mapped with 4 CPUs, which avoids the cross cluster memory
access.
CPU |00 01 02 03|04 05 06 07|08 09 10 11| ...
----- ----- ----------- -----------
IRQ 1 2 3 4
As a result, 15%+ performance difference is observed in FIO
libaio/randread/bs=8k.
Changes since V1:
- Add more performance details in commit messages.
- Fix endless loop when topology_cluster_cpumask return invalid mask.

group_cpu_evenly() might have allocated less groups then requested:
group_cpu_evenly()
__group_cpus_evenly()
alloc_nodes_groups()
# allocated total groups may be less than numgrps when
# active total CPU number is less then numgrps
In this case, the caller will do an out of bound access because the
caller assumes the masks returned has numgrps.
Return the number of groups created so the caller can limit the access
range accordingly.

Root cause is that numgrps is set to 0, and ZERO_SIZE_PTR is returned from
kcalloc(), and later ZERO_SIZE_PTR will be deferenced.
Fix the problem by checking numgrps first in group_cpus_evenly(), and
return NULL directly if numgrps is zero.

group_cpus_evenly() could be part of storage driver's error handler, such
as nvme driver, when may happen during CPU hotplug, in which storage queue
has to drain its pending IOs because all CPUs associated with the queue
are offline and the queue is becoming inactive. And handling IO needs
error handler to provide forward progress.
Then deadlock is caused:
1) inside CPU hotplug handler, CPU hotplug lock is held, and blk-mq's
handler is waiting for inflight IO
2) error handler is waiting for CPU hotplug lock
3) inflight IO can't be completed in blk-mq's CPU hotplug handler
because error handling can't provide forward progress.
Solve the deadlock by not holding CPU hotplug lock in group_cpus_evenly(),
in which two stage spreads are taken: 1) the 1st stage is over all present
CPUs; 2) the end stage is over all other CPUs.
Turns out the two stage spread just needs consistent 'cpu_present_mask',
and remove the CPU hotplug lock by storing it into one local cache. This
way doesn't change correctness, because all CPUs are still covered.

Widen the #ifdef CONFIG_SMP block to not expose unused helpers on
non-SMP builds.
Also annotate the preprocessor branches for better readability.
