net: remove HIPPI support and RoadRunner HIPPI driver

2026-01-21T03:12:06+00:00

HIPPI has not been relevant for over two decades. It was rapidly eclipsed by Fibre Channel, and even when it was new, it was confined to very high-end hardware. The HIPPI code has only received tree-wide changes and fixes by inspection in the entire Git history. Remove HIPPI support and the rrunner HIPPI driver, and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file. Keep the include/uapi/linux/if_hippi.h header because it is used by the TUN code, and to avoid breaking userspace, however unlikely that may be.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

drivers/net/hippi: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-22T20:01:34+00:00

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs. CC: Jes Sorensen Acked-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

net: drivers/net/hippi/Kconfig should be sourced

2011-11-09T20:55:06+00:00

Commit ff5a3b509e ("hippi: Move the HIPPI driver") moved the HIPPI driver into drivers/net/hippi. It didn't source drivers/net/hippi/Kconfig though, so it didn't make all necessary Kconfig changes. So let drivers/net/kconfig source HIPPI's Kconfig file. [ Fix syntax error at the end of HIPP's Kconfig file. -DaveM ] Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Acked-by: Jeff Kirsher Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
