Wolfram SangandJassi Brar 6e937f4e76 mailbox: mailbox-test: make data_ready a per-instance variable
While not the default case, multiple tests can be run simultaneously.
Then, data_ready being a global variable will be overwritten and the
per-instance lock will not help. Turn the global variable into a
per-instance one to avoid this problem.

Wolfram SangandJassi Brar bbcf9af68b mailbox: mailbox-test: initialize struct earlier
The waitqueue must be initialized before the debugfs files are created
because from that time, requests from userspace can already be made.
Similarily, drvdata and spinlock needs to be initialized before we
request the channel, otherwise dangling irqs might run into problems
like a NULL pointer exception.

Wolfram SangandJassi Brar dd9aa1f269 mailbox: mailbox-test: handle channel errors consistently
mbox_test_request_channel() returns either an ERR_PTR or NULL. The
callers, however, mostly checked for non-NULL which allows for bogus
code paths when an ERR_PTR is treated like a valid channel. A later
commit tried to fix it in one place but missed the other ones. Because
the ERR_PTR is only used for -ENOMEM once and is converted to
-EPROBE_DEFER anyhow, convert the callee to only return NULL which
simplifies handling a lot and makes it less error prone.

Fail gracefully if there is no channel array attached to the mailbox

Dylan WuandJassi Brar 80784b4279 mailbox: cix: Add IRQF_NO_SUSPEND to mailbox interrupt
During the system suspend process, device interrupts are masked in the
noirq phase. However, SCMI often needs to exchange final messages with the
firmware to complete the power-down transition. Without the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND
flag, the mailbox ISR cannot run during this late stage, leading to SCMI
communication timeouts and error messages like "SCMI protocol wait for
resp timeout" during suspend.

Add the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag to the interrupt request to ensure the mailbox
can continue to handle responses during the noirq stages of suspend and
resume, thereby ensuring a reliable power state transition.

Jassi Brar c58e9456e3 mailbox: Fix NULL message support in mbox_send_message()
The active_req field serves double duty as both the "is a TX in
flight" flag (NULL means idle) and the storage for the in-flight
message pointer. When a client sends NULL via mbox_send_message(),
active_req is set to NULL, which the framework misinterprets as
"no active request". This breaks the TX state machine by:

 - tx_tick() short-circuits on (!mssg), skipping the tx_done
   callback and the tx_complete completion
 - txdone_hrtimer() skips the channel entirely since active_req
   is NULL, so poll-based TX-done detection never fires.

Fix this by introducing a MBOX_NO_MSG sentinel value that means
"no active request," freeing NULL to be valid message data. The
sentinel is defined in the subsystem-internal mailbox.h so that
controller drivers within drivers/mailbox/ can reference it, but
it is not exposed to clients outside the subsystem.

Fifteen in-tree callers send NULL (doorbell-style IPCs on Qualcomm,
Tegra, TI, Xilinx, i.MX, SCMI, and PCC platforms). All were
audited for regression:

 - Most already work around the bug via knows_txdone=true with a
   manual mbox_client_txdone() call, making the framework's
   tracking irrelevant. These are unaffected.

 - Poll-based callers (Xilinx zynqmp/r5) are strictly better off:
   the poll timer now correctly detects NULL-active channels
   instead of silently skipping them.

 - irq-qcom-mpm.c was a pre-existing bug -- the only Qualcomm
   caller that omitted the knows_txdone + mbox_client_txdone()
   pattern. Fixed in a companion commit ("irqchip/qcom-mpm: Fix
   missing mailbox TX done acknowledgment").

 - No caller sets both a tx_done callback and sends NULL, nor
   combines tx_block=true with NULL sends, so the newly reachable
   callback/completion paths are never exercised.

Also update tegra-hsp's flush callback, which directly inspects
active_req to wait for the channel to drain: the old "!= NULL"
check becomes "!= MBOX_NO_MSG", otherwise flush spins until
timeout since the sentinel is non-NULL.

The only tradeoff is that 'MBOX_NO_MSG' can not be used as a message
by clients.

Jassi Brar 57df858a46 mailbox: add API to query available TX queue slots
Clients sometimes need to know whether the mailbox TX queue has room
before posting a new message. Rather than exposing internal queue state
through a struct field, provide a proper accessor function that returns
the number of available slots for a given channel.

This lets clients choose to back off when the queue is full instead of
hitting the -ENOBUFS error path and the misleading "Try increasing
MBOX_TX_QUEUE_LEN" warning.

Kees Cook 69050f8d6d treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Sebastian Andrzej SiewiorandJassi Brar fa84883d44 mailbox: bcm-ferxrm-mailbox: Use default primary handler
request_threaded_irq() is invoked with a primary and a secondary handler
and no flags are passed. The primary handler is the same as
irq_default_primary_handler() so there is no need to have an identical
copy.
The lack of the IRQF_ONESHOT can be dangerous because the interrupt
source is not masked while the threaded handler is active. This means,
especially on LEVEL typed interrupt lines, the interrupt can fire again
before the threaded handler had a chance to run.

Use the default primary interrupt handler by specifying NULL and set
IRQF_ONESHOT so the interrupt source is masked until the secondary
handler is done.
