atm: remove SVC socket support and the signaling daemon interface

2026-06-16T15:53:52+00:00

ATM switched virtual circuits (SVCs) are set up and torn down by a user-space signaling daemon (atmsigd) which the kernel talks to over a dedicated "sigd" socket: the kernel marshals Q.2931-style requests (as_connect, as_listen, as_accept, as_close, ...) to the daemon and applies the results to PF_ATMSVC sockets. This is the machinery behind classical SVC use and was the foundation for LANE / MPOA, all of which have been removed. DSL deployments do not use any of this. PPPoATM and BR2684 run over permanent virtual circuits (PF_ATMPVC) with a statically configured VPI/VCI; no atmsigd, no Q.2931. Neither remaining ATM driver (solos-pci, the USB DSL modems) is reachable through the SVC path. Remove the SVC socket family and the signaling interface: - delete net/atm/svc.c, net/atm/signaling.c and signaling.h - drop atmsvc_init()/atmsvc_exit() and the PF_ATMSVC registration and module alias - drop the ATMSIGD_CTRL ioctl (sigd_attach) and the /proc/net/atm/svc file - fold the SVC branch out of atm_change_qos(); all sockets are PVCs now The obsolete ATM_SETSC ioctl stub is left in place (it already just warns and returns 0), as is the struct atm_vcc SVC bookkeeping shared with the queueing layer.

atm: remove the local ATM (NSAP) address registry

2026-06-16T15:53:52+00:00

net/atm/addr.c maintained the per-device lists of local NSAP addresses (dev->local) and ILMI-learned LECS addresses (dev->lecs). These exist solely to serve SVC signaling: the lists are populated through the ATM_{ADD,DEL,RST}ADDR / ATM_{ADD,DEL,GET}LECSADDR ioctls used by the atmsigd / ILMI daemons, and consumed when registering addresses with the signaling daemon. The LECS list belonged to LAN Emulation, which has been removed. With no SVC users in a DSL-only configuration these lists are always empty, so drop the registry entirely: - remove the ADDR/LECSADDR/RSTADDR ioctls - drop the now-always-empty "atmaddress" sysfs attribute - remove the dev->local / dev->lecs lists, structs and enums - delete net/atm/addr.c and net/atm/addr.h The device ESI ("MAC" address) and its ATM_{G,S}ETESI ioctls and "address" sysfs attribute are retained - the USB DSL modems populate the ESI.

atm: convert to getsockopt_iter

2026-05-22T18:11:09+00:00

Convert the ATM SVC and PVC sockets, along with the shared vcc_getsockopt() helper, to use the new getsockopt_iter callback with sockopt_t. Key changes: - Replace (char __user *optval, int __user *optlen) with sockopt_t *opt - Use opt->optlen for buffer length (input) - Use copy_to_iter() instead of put_user()/copy_to_user() Acked-by: Stanislav Fomichev Signed-off-by: Breno Leitao Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260520-getsock_four-v3-2-b8c0b16b7780@debian.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski

net: Convert proto_ops connect() callbacks to use sockaddr_unsized

2025-11-05T03:10:32+00:00

Update all struct proto_ops connect() callback function prototypes from "struct sockaddr *" to "struct sockaddr_unsized *" to avoid lying to the compiler about object sizes. Calls into struct proto handlers gain casts that will be removed in the struct proto conversion patch. No binary changes expected.

net: change proto and proto_ops accept type

2024-05-14T00:19:09+00:00

Rather than pass in flags, error pointer, and whether this is a kernel invocation or not, add a struct proto_accept_arg struct as the argument. This then holds all of these arguments, and prepares accept for being able to pass back more information. No functional changes in this patch. Acked-by: Jakub Kicinski Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

sock: Remove ->sendpage*() in favour of sendmsg(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)

2023-06-24T22:50:13+00:00

Remove ->sendpage() and ->sendpage_locked(). sendmsg() with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES should be used instead. This allows multiple pages and multipage folios to be passed through.

Move COMPAT_ATM_ADDPARTY to net/atm/svc.c

2023-03-10T20:05:16+00:00

This used to be behind an #ifdef COMPAT_COMPAT, so most of userspace wouldn't have seen the definition before. Unfortunately this header file became visible to userspace, so the definition has instead been moved to net/atm/svc.c (the only user).
