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.

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

treewide: Replace GPLv2 boilerplate/reference with SPDX - rule 194

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: Bugfix list_del_rcu race in cfmuxl_ctrlcmd.

2012-02-02T19:35:12+00:00

Always use cfmuxl_remove_uplayer when removing a up-layer. cfmuxl_ctrlcmd() can be called independently and in parallel with cfmuxl_remove_uplayer(). The race between them could cause list_del_rcu to be called on a node which has been already taken out from the list. That lead to a (rare) crash on accessing poisoned node->prev inside list_del_rcu. This fix ensures that deletion are done holding the same lock. Reported-by: Dmitry Tarnyagin Signed-off-by: Sjur Brændeland Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

rcu: convert uses of rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) to RCU_INIT_POINTER

2011-08-02T11:29:23+00:00

When assigning a NULL value to an RCU protected pointer, no barrier is needed. The rcu_assign_pointer, used to handle that but will soon change to not handle the special case. Convert all rcu_assign_pointer of NULL value. //smpl @@ expression P; @@ - rcu_assign_pointer(P, NULL) + RCU_INIT_POINTER(P, NULL) // Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Paul E.

caif: Bugfix - XOFF removed channel from caif-mux

2011-06-17T03:59:09+00:00

XOFF was mixed up with DOWN indication, causing causing CAIF channel to be removed from mux and all incoming traffic to be lost after receiving flow-off. Fix this by replacing FLOW_OFF with DOWN notification. Signed-off-by: Sjur Brændeland Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

caif: Fixes freeze on Link layer removal.

2011-05-23T00:11:47+00:00

CAIF Socket layer - caif_socket.c: - Plug mem-leak at reconnect. - Always call disconnect to cleanup CAIF stack. - Disconnect will always report success. CAIF configuration layer - cfcnfg.c - Disconnect must dismantle the caif stack correctly - Protect against faulty removals (check on id zero) CAIF mux layer - cfmuxl.c - When inserting new service layer in the MUX remove any old entries with the same ID. - When removing CAIF Link layer, remove the associated service layers before notifying service layers.
