treewide: refresh kmalloc_obj() conversionsgrafted

This is another run of the Coccinelle script for converting kmalloc()
family of allocations to kmalloc_obj() via the existing rules in
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci

This catches both the set of kmalloc() uses added since the first
kmalloc_obj() conversions in v7.0 and adds a large group missed in the
first pass due to Coccinelle not interacting well with the cleanup.h
scoped_...() family of macros[1]. I worked around this with spatch's
"--macro-file" argument to a file with all the scoped_...() macros mapped
to Coccinelle's YACFE_ITERATOR[2] as that was the closest viable control
flow indicator I could find.

Build tested allmodconfig on x86, arm64, arm, loongarch, mips, powerpc,
riscv, and s390 with no new warnings.

+Checksum Offloads
+=================
+
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes a set of techniques in the Linux networking stack to
+take advantage of checksum offload capabilities of various NICs.
+
+The following technologies are described:
+
+* TX Checksum Offload
+* LCO: Local Checksum Offload
+* RCO: Remote Checksum Offload
+
+Things that should be documented here but aren't yet:
+
+* CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY conversion
+
+
+TX Checksum Offload
+===================
+
+In brief, Tx checksum offload allows to request the device fill in a single
+ones-complement
+checksum defined by the sk_buff fields skb->csum_start and skb->csum_offset.
+The device should compute the 16-bit ones-complement checksum (i.e. the
+'IP-style' checksum) from csum_start to the end of the packet, and fill in the
+result at (csum_start + csum_offset).
+
+Because csum_offset cannot be negative, this ensures that the previous value of
+the checksum field is included in the checksum computation, thus it can be used
+to supply any needed corrections to the checksum (such as the sum of the
+pseudo-header for UDP or TCP).
+
+This interface only allows a single checksum to be offloaded.  Where
+encapsulation is used, the packet may have multiple checksum fields in
+different header layers, and the rest will have to be handled by another
+mechanism such as LCO or RCO.
+
+SCTP CRC32c can also be offloaded using this interface, by means of filling
+skb->csum_start and skb->csum_offset as described above, setting
+skb->csum_not_inet, and advertising NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC. Drivers must not treat
+ordinary IP checksum offload as SCTP CRC32c support.
+
+No offloading of the IP header checksum is performed; it is always done in
+software.  This is OK because when we build the IP header, we obviously have it
+in cache, so summing it isn't expensive.  It's also rather short.
+
+The requirements for GSO are more complicated, because when segmenting an
+encapsulated packet both the inner and outer checksums may need to be edited or
+recomputed for each resulting segment.
+
+A driver declares its offload capabilities in netdev->hw_features; see
+Documentation/networking/netdev-features.rst for more. NETIF_F_IP_CSUM and
+NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM are restricted legacy features and are being deprecated in
+favor of NETIF_F_HW_CSUM. New devices should use NETIF_F_HW_CSUM to advertise
+generic checksum offload. The skb_csum_hwoffload_help() helper can resolve
+CHECKSUM_PARTIAL according to the device's advertised checksum capabilities,
+falling back to software when needed.
+
+The stack should, for the most part, assume that checksum offload is supported
+by the underlying device.  The only place that should check is
+validate_xmit_skb(), and the functions it calls directly or indirectly.  That
+function compares the offload features requested by the SKB (which may include
+other offloads besides TX Checksum Offload) and, if they are not supported or
+enabled on the device (determined by netdev->features), performs the
+corresponding offload in software.  In the case of TX Checksum Offload, that
+means calling skb_csum_hwoffload_help(skb, features).
+
+
+LCO: Local Checksum Offload
+===========================
+
+LCO is a technique for efficiently computing the outer checksum of an
+encapsulated datagram when the inner checksum is due to be offloaded.
+
+The ones-complement sum of a correctly checksummed TCP or UDP packet is equal
+to the complement of the sum of the pseudo header, because everything else gets
+'cancelled out' by the checksum field.  This is because the sum was
+complemented before being written to the checksum field.
+
+More generally, this holds in any case where the 'IP-style' ones complement
+checksum is used, and thus any checksum that TX Checksum Offload supports.
+
+That is, if we have set up TX Checksum Offload with a start/offset pair, we
+know that after the device has filled in that checksum, the ones complement sum
+from csum_start to the end of the packet will be equal to the complement of
+whatever value we put in the checksum field beforehand.  This allows us to
+compute the outer checksum without looking at the payload: we simply stop
+summing when we get to csum_start, then add the complement of the 16-bit word
+at (csum_start + csum_offset).
+
+Then, when the true inner checksum is filled in (either by hardware or by
+skb_checksum_help()), the outer checksum will become correct by virtue of the
+arithmetic.
+
+LCO is performed by the stack when constructing an outer UDP header for an
+encapsulation such as VXLAN or GENEVE, in udp_set_csum().  Similarly for the
+IPv6 equivalents, in udp6_set_csum().
+
+It is also performed when constructing GRE headers with the shared
+gre_build_header() helper in include/net/gre.h, which is used by both IPv4 and
+IPv6 GRE.
+
+All of the LCO implementations use a helper function lco_csum(), in
+include/linux/skbuff.h.
+
+LCO can safely be used for nested encapsulations; in this case, the outer
+encapsulation layer will sum over both its own header and the 'middle' header.
+This does mean that the 'middle' header will get summed multiple times, but
+there doesn't seem to be a way to avoid that without incurring bigger costs
+(e.g. in SKB bloat).
+
+
+RCO: Remote Checksum Offload
+============================
+
+RCO is a technique for eliding the inner checksum of an encapsulated datagram,
+allowing the outer checksum to be offloaded.  It does, however, involve a
+change to the encapsulation protocols, which the receiver must also support.
+For this reason, it is disabled by default.
+
+RCO is detailed in the following Internet-Drafts:
+
+* https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-00
+* https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-vxlan-rco-00
+
+In Linux, RCO is implemented individually in each encapsulation protocol, and
+most tunnel types have flags controlling its use. For instance, VXLAN has the
+configuration flag VXLAN_F_REMCSUM_TX to indicate that RCO should be used when
+transmitting.
+
+
+RX Checksum Offload
+===================
+
+RX checksum offload is controlled via NETIF_F_RXCSUM. When disabled the driver
+must not set skb->ip_summed on ingress packets. As mentioned, IPv4 checksum
+is not offloaded, the RXCSUM feature controls the offload of verification of
+transport layer checksums.
+
+Note that packets with bad TCP/UDP checksums must still be passed
+to the stack. skb->ip_summed of such packets can be set to ``CHECKSUM_COMPLETE``
+or left at ``CHECKSUM_NONE``. Drivers **must not discard** packets with
+bad TCP/UDP checksum and must not configure the device to drop them.
+Checksum validation is relatively inexpensive and having bad packets reflected
+in SNMP counters is crucial for network monitoring.
