coccinelle: alloc_cast: drop removed allocatorsgrafted
- pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_zalloc_consistent() were removed by
commit 7968778914e5
("PCI: Remove the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API")
- kmem_alloc() was removed by commit f078d4ea8276
("xfs: convert kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()")
- kmem_zalloc() was removed by commit 10634530f7ba
("xfs: convert kmem_zalloc() to kzalloc()")
- kmem_zone_alloc() and kmem_zone_zalloc() were removed by commit
bae633a4a283 ("xfs: remove xfs_zone_{alloc,zalloc} helpers")
So drop them from the rules.
No functional change.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +===================== +Devicetree Changesets +===================== + +A Devicetree changeset is a method which allows one to apply changes +in the live tree in such a way that either the full set of changes +will be applied, or none of them will be. If an error occurs partway +through applying the changeset, then the tree will be rolled back to the +previous state. A changeset can also be removed after it has been +applied. + +When a changeset is applied, all of the changes get applied to the tree +at once before emitting OF_RECONFIG notifiers. This is so that the +receiver sees a complete and consistent state of the tree when it +receives the notifier. + +The sequence of a changeset is as follows. + +1. of_changeset_init() - initializes a changeset + +2. A number of DT tree change calls, of_changeset_attach_node(), + of_changeset_detach_node(), of_changeset_add_property(), + of_changeset_remove_property, of_changeset_update_property() to prepare + a set of changes. No changes to the active tree are made at this point. + All the change operations are recorded in the of_changeset 'entries' + list. + +3. of_changeset_apply() - Apply the changes to the tree. Either the + entire changeset will get applied, or if there is an error the tree will + be restored to the previous state. The core ensures proper serialization + through locking. An unlocked version __of_changeset_apply is available, + if needed. + +If a successfully applied changeset needs to be removed, it can be done +with of_changeset_revert(). |
