timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

<title>saner replacement for debugfs_rename()</title>

<content type='text'>
Existing primitive has several problems:
	1) calling conventions are clumsy - it returns a dentry reference
that is either identical to its second argument or is an ERR_PTR(-E...);
in both cases no refcount changes happen.  Inconvenient for users and
bug-prone; it would be better to have it return 0 on success and -E... on
failure.
	2) it allows cross-directory moves; however, no such caller have
ever materialized and considering the way debugfs is used, it's unlikely
to happen in the future.  What's more, any such caller would have fun
issues to deal with wrt interplay with recursive removal.  It also makes
the calling conventions clumsier...
	3) tautological rename fails; the callers have no race-free way
to deal with that.
	4) new name must have been formed by the caller; quite a few
callers have it done by sprintf/kasprintf/etc., ending up with considerable
boilerplate.

Proposed replacement: int debugfs_change_name(dentry, fmt, ...).  All callers
convert to that easily, and it's simpler internally.

IMO debugfs_rename() should go; if we ever get a real-world use case for
cross-directory moves in debugfs, we can always look into the right way
to handle that.

A Marvell 88E8075 ethernet controller has this device ID instead of
11ab:4370 and works fine with the sky2 driver.

The latter is the preferred way to copy ethtool strings.

Avoids manually incrementing the pointer. Cleans up the code quite well.

<title>net: annotate writes on dev-&gt;mtu from ndo_change_mtu()</title>

Simon reported that ndo_change_mtu() methods were never
updated to use WRITE_ONCE(dev-&gt;mtu, new_mtu) as hinted
in commit 501a90c94510 ("inet: protect against too small
mtu values.")

We read dev-&gt;mtu without holding RTNL in many places,
with READ_ONCE() annotations.

It is time to take care of ndo_change_mtu() methods
to use corresponding WRITE_ONCE()

<content type='text'>
Add a new header, linux/skbuff_ref.h, which contains all the skb_*_ref()
helpers. Many of the consumers of skbuff.h do not actually use any of
the skb ref helpers, and we can speed up compilation a bit by minimizing
this header file.

Additionally in the later patch in the series we add page_pool support
to skb_frag_ref(), which requires some page_pool dependencies. We can
now add these dependencies to skbuff_ref.h instead of a very ubiquitous
skbuff.h

Since debugfs_create_dir() returns ERR_PTR, IS_ERR() is enough to
check whether the directory is successfully created. So remove the
redundant NULL check.

<content type='text'>
The DT of_device.h and of_platform.h date back to the separate
of_platform_bus_type before it as merged into the regular platform bus.
As part of that merge prepping Arm DT support 13 years ago, they
"temporarily" include each other. They also include platform_device.h
and of.h. As a result, there's a pretty much random mix of those include
files used throughout the tree. In order to detangle these headers and
replace the implicit includes with struct declarations, users need to
explicitly include the correct includes.

<title>treewide: Convert del_timer*() to timer_shutdown*()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:292a089d78d3e2f7944e60bb897c977785a321e3</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to several bugs caused by timers being re-armed after they are
shutdown and just before they are freed, a new state of timers was added
called "shutdown".  After a timer is set to this state, then it can no
longer be re-armed.

The following script was run to find all the trivial locations where
del_timer() or del_timer_sync() is called in the same function that the
object holding the timer is freed.  It also ignores any locations where
the timer-&gt;function is modified between the del_timer*() and the free(),
as that is not considered a "trivial" case.

This was created by using a coccinelle script and the following
commands:

    $ cat timer.cocci
    @@
    expression ptr, slab;
    identifier timer, rfield;
    @@
    (
    -       del_timer(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    |
    -       del_timer_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    +       timer_shutdown_sync(&amp;ptr-&gt;timer);
    )
      ... when strict
          when != ptr-&gt;timer
    (
            kfree_rcu(ptr, rfield);
    |
            kmem_cache_free(slab, ptr);
    |
            kfree(ptr);
    )

    $ spatch timer.cocci . &gt; /tmp/t.patch
    $ patch -p1 &lt; /tmp/t.patch
