net: remove ISDN subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP

2026-04-23T17:24:02+00:00

Remove the ISDN (mISDN, CAPI) subsystem and Bluetooth CMTP protocol from the kernel tree. ISDN is a pretty old technology and it's unclear whether anyone still uses it. I went over the last few years of git history and all the commits are either tree-wide conversions or syzbot/static analyzer fixes. When we discussed removal in the past IIRC there were some concerns about ISDN still being used in parts of Germany. Unfortunately, the code base is quite old, none of the current maintainers are familiar with it and AI tools will have a field day finding bugs here. Delete this code and preserve it in an out-of-tree repository for any remaining users: https://github.com/linux-netdev/mod-orphan UAPI constants AF_ISDN/PF_ISDN and the SELinux isdn_socket class are preserved for ABI stability, but the rest of uAPI is removed.

driver core: make struct class.dev_uevent() take a const *

2022-11-24T16:12:15+00:00

The dev_uevent() in struct class should not be modifying the device that is passed into it, so mark it as a const * and propagate the function signature changes out into all relevant subsystems that use this callback.

networking: introduce and use skb_put_data()

2017-06-16T15:48:37+00:00

A common pattern with skb_put() is to just want to memcpy() some data into the new space, introduce skb_put_data() for this. An spatch similar to the one for skb_put_zero() converts many of the places using it: @@ identifier p, p2; expression len, skb, data; type t, t2; @@ ( -p = skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); | -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, len); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, len); | -memcpy(p, data, len); ) @@ type t, t2; identifier p, p2; expression skb, data; @@ t *p; ... ( -p = skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); | -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t)); +p = skb_put_data(skb, data, sizeof(t)); ) ( p2 = (t2)p; -memcpy(p2, data, sizeof(*p)); | -memcpy(p, data, sizeof(*p)); ) @@ expression skb, len, data; @@ -memcpy(skb_put(skb, len), data, len); +skb_put_data(skb, data, len); (again, manually post-processed to retain some comments) Reviewed-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: David S.

isdn: Use ktime_t instead of 'struct timeval'

2016-03-20T20:47:13+00:00

'struct timeval' uses 32-bit representation for seconds which will overflow in year 2038 and beyond. mISDN/clock.c needs to compute and store elapsed time in intervals of 125 microseconds. This patch replaces the usage of 'struct timeval' with 64-bit ktime_t which is y2038 safe. The patch also replaces do_gettimeofday() (wall-clock time) with ktime_get() (monotonic time) since we only care about elapsed time here.

mISDN: Allow to set a minimum length for transparent data

2012-05-16T19:23:46+00:00

If the FIFO of the card is small, many short messages are queued up to the upper layers and the userspace. This change allows the applications to set a minimum datalen they want from the drivers. Create a common control function to avoid code duplication in each driver. Signed-off-by: Karsten Keil Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mISDN: Help to identify the card

2012-05-04T15:56:19+00:00

With multiple cards is hard to figure out which port caused trouble int the layer2 routines (e.g. got a timeout). Now we have the informations in the log output. Signed-off-by: Karsten Keil Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mISDN: Make layer1 timer 3 value configurable

2012-05-04T15:55:05+00:00

For certification test it is very useful to change the layer1 timer3 value on runtime. Signed-off-by: Karsten Keil Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

mISDN: L2 timeouts need to be queued as L2 event

2012-05-04T15:54:27+00:00

To be full preemptiv safe, we cannot handle a L2 timeout in the timer context itself, we should do all actions via the D-channel thread. Signed-off-by: Karsten Keil Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
