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.

Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments

2026-02-22T04:03:00+00:00

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split over multiple lines. I only did the ones that are easy to verify the resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next line. Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the middle of the script. I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial. So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed' scripts. The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want whitespace cleanup anyway. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

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 *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

tty: introduce and use tty_port_tty_vhangup() helper

2025-06-17T11:42:33+00:00

This code (tty_get -> vhangup -> tty_put) is repeated on few places. Introduce a helper similar to tty_port_tty_hangup() (asynchronous) to handle even vhangup (synchronous). And use it on those places. In fact, reuse the tty_port_tty_hangup()'s code and call tty_vhangup() depending on a new bool parameter.

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43+00:00

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.

isdn: capi: make capi_class constant

2024-03-08T04:26:24+00:00

Since commit 43a7206b0963 ("driver core: class: make class_register() take a const *"), the driver core allows for struct class to be in read-only memory, so move the capi_class structure to be declared at build time placing it into read-only memory, instead of having to be dynamically allocated at boot time.

tty_operations::send_xchar is one of the last users of 'char' type for characters in the tty layer. Convert it to u8 now.
