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.
