  • Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
    makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

    By default all files without license information are under the default
    license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

    Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
    SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
    shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

    This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
    Philippe Ombredanne.

    How this work was done:

    Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
    the use cases:
    - file had no licensing information it it.
    - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
    - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

    Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
    where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
    had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

    The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
    a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
    output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
    tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
    base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

    The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
    assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
    results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
    to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
    immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

    Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
    - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
    - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
    lines of source
    - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if

  • Now that %z is standartised in C99 there is no reason to support %Z.
    Unlike %L it doesn't even make format strings smaller.

    Use BUILD_BUG_ON in a couple ATM drivers.

    In case anyone didn't notice lib/vsprintf.o is about half of SLUB which
    is in my opinion is quite an achievement. Hopefully this patch inspires
    someone else to trim vsprintf.c more.

  • After TIPC doesn't depend on iocb argument in its internal
    implementations of sendmsg() and recvmsg() hooks defined in proto
    structure, no any user is using iocb argument in them at all now.
    Then we can drop the redundant iocb argument completely from kinds of
    implementations of both sendmsg() and recvmsg() in the entire
    networking stack.

  • This encapsulates all of the skb_copy_datagram_iovec() callers
    with call argument signature "skb, offset, msghdr->msg_iov, length".

    When we move to iov_iters in the networking, the iov_iter object will
    sit in the msghdr.

    Having a helper like this means there will be less places to touch
    during that transformation.

  • Setting just skb->sk without taking its reference and setting a
    destructor is invalid. However, in the places where this was done, skb
    is used in a way not requiring skb->sk setting. So dropping the setting

  • I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

    list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

    The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

    hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

    Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
    they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
    exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

    Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

    - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
    - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
    - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
    was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
    - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
    properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

    The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

    This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the
