caif: remove CAIF NETWORK LAYER

2026-04-23T17:23:44+00:00

Remove CAIF (Communication CPU to Application CPU Interface), the ST-Ericsson modem protocol. The subsystem has been orphaned since 2013. The last meaningful changes from the maintainers were in March 2013: a8c7687bf216 ("caif_virtio: Check that vringh_config is not null") b2273be8d2df ("caif_virtio: Use vringh_notify_enable correctly") 0d2e1a2926b1 ("caif_virtio: Introduce caif over virtio") Not-so-coincidentally, according to "the Internet" ST-Ericsson officially shut down its modem joint venture in Aug 2013. If anyone is using this code please yell! In the 13 years since, the code has accumulated 200 non-merge commits, of which 71 were cross-tree API changes, 21 carried Fixes: tags, and the remaining ~110 were cleanups, doc conversions, treewide refactors, and one partial removal (caif_hsi, ca75bcf0a83b). We are still getting fixes to this code, in the last 10 days there were 3 reports on security@ about CAIF that I have been CCed on. UAPI constants (AF_CAIF, ARPHRD_CAIF, N_CAIF, VIRTIO_ID_CAIF) and the SELinux classmap entry are intentionally kept for ABI stability. Acked-by: Michael S.

caif: Remove my bouncing email address.

2013-04-23T17:25:51+00:00

Remove my soon bouncing email address. Also remove the "Contact:" line in file header. The MAINTAINERS file is a better place to find the contact person anyway. Signed-off-by: Sjur Brændeland Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

caif: Add ref-count to framing layer

2011-05-15T21:45:55+00:00

Introduce Per-cpu reference for lower part of CAIF Stack. Before freeing payload is disabled, synchronize_rcu() is called, and then ref-count verified to be zero. Signed-off-by: Sjur Brændeland Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

caif: Use rcu_read_lock in CAIF mux layer.

2011-05-15T21:45:54+00:00

Replace spin_lock with rcu_read_lock when accessing lists to layers and cache. While packets are in flight rcu_read_lock should not be held, instead ref-counters are used in combination with RCU. Signed-off-by: Sjur Brændeland Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

net-caif: add CAIF core protocol stack header files
