net: Introduce generic failover module The failover module provides a generic interface for paravirtual drivers to register a netdev and a set of ops with a failover instance. The ops are used as event handlers that get called to handle netdev register/ unregister/link change/name change events on slave pci ethernet devices with the same mac address as the failover netdev. This enables paravirtual drivers to use a VF as an accelerated low latency datapath. It also allows migration of VMs with direct attached VFs by failing over to the paravirtual datapath when the VF is unplugged.

net: core: failover: enforce mandatory ops and clean up redundant checks The failover framework requires 'ops' to be functional. Currently, failover_register() allows an instance to be registered with NULL ops, which leads to inconsistent NULL checks and potential NULL pointer dereferences in the slave registration paths. Harden the entry point by requiring non-NULL ops in failover_register(). This ensures the 'fops' pointer is guaranteed to be valid for any successfully registered failover instance. Consequently, remove the now redundant NULL checks for 'fops' throughout the module to simplify the logic.

Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument 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. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
