wan: remove sbni/granch driver

2021-08-03T12:05:26+00:00

The driver was merged in 1999 and has only ever seen treewide cleanups since then, with no indication whatsoever that anyone has actually had access to hardware for testing the patches. >From the information in the link below, it appears that the hardware is for some leased line system in Russia that has since been discontinued, and useless without any remote end to connect to. As the driver still feels like a Linux-2.2 era artifact today, it appears that the best way forward is to just delete it.

net: wan: Delete the DLCI / SDLA drivers

2020-11-17T21:33:29+00:00

The DLCI driver (dlci.c) implements the Frame Relay protocol. However, we already have another newer and better implementation of Frame Relay provided by the HDLC_FR driver (hdlc_fr.c). The DLCI driver's implementation of Frame Relay is used by only one hardware driver in the kernel - the SDLA driver (sdla.c). The SDLA driver provides Frame Relay support for the Sangoma S50x devices. However, the vendor provides their own driver (along with their own multi-WAN-protocol implementations including Frame Relay), called WANPIPE. I believe most users of the hardware would use the vendor-provided WANPIPE driver instead. (The WANPIPE driver was even once in the kernel, but was deleted in commit 8db60bcf3021 ("[WAN]: Remove broken and unmaintained Sangoma drivers.") because the vendor no longer updated the in-kernel WANPIPE driver.)

net: x25_asy: Delete the x25_asy driver

2020-11-07T22:13:44+00:00

This driver transports LAPB (X.25 link layer) frames over TTY links. I can safely say that this driver has no actual user because it was not working at all until: commit 8fdcabeac398 ("drivers/net/wan/x25_asy: Fix to make it work") The code in its current state still has problems: 1. The uses of "struct x25_asy" in x25_asy_unesc (when receiving) and in x25_asy_write_wakeup (when sending) are not protected by locks against x25_asy_change_mtu's changing of the transmitting/receiving buffers. Also, all "netif_running" checks in this driver are not protected by locks against the ndo_stop function. 2. The driver stops all TTY read/write when the netif is down. I think this is not right because this may cause the last outgoing frame before the netif goes down to be incompletely transmitted, and the first incoming frame after the netif goes up to be incompletely received. And there may also be other problems. I was planning to fix these problems but after recent discussions about deleting other old networking code, I think we may just delete this driver, too.

net: wan: wanxl: use $(M68KCC) instead of $(M68KAS) for rebuilding firmware

2020-03-29T13:37:53+00:00

The firmware source, wanxlfw.S, is currently compiled by the combo of $(CPP) and $(M68KAS). This is not what we usually do for compiling *.S files. In fact, this Makefile is the only user of $(AS) in the kernel build. Instead of combining $(CPP) and (AS) from different tool sets, using $(M68KCC) as an assembler driver is simpler, and saner.

net: wan: wanxl: use allow to pass CROSS_COMPILE_M68k for rebuilding firmware

2020-03-29T13:37:53+00:00

As far as I understood from the Kconfig help text, this build rule is used to rebuild the driver firmware, which runs on an old m68k-based chip. So, you need m68k tools for the firmware rebuild. wanxl.c is a PCI driver, but CONFIG_M68K does not select CONFIG_HAVE_PCI. So, you cannot enable CONFIG_WANXL_BUILD_FIRMWARE for ARCH=m68k. In other words, ifeq ($(ARCH),m68k) is false here. I am keeping the dead code for now, but rebuilding the firmware requires 'as68k' and 'ld68k', which I do not have in hand. Instead, the kernel.org m68k GCC [1] successfully built it. Allowing a user to pass in CROSS_COMPILE_M68K= is handier.

net/wan: dscc4: remove broken dscc4 driver

2019-09-16T07:14:41+00:00

Using static analysis, I discovered that the "dpriv->pci_priv->pdev" pointer is always NULL. This pointer was supposed to be initialized during probe and is essential for the driver to work. It would be easy to add a "ppriv->pdev = pdev;" to dscc4_found1() but this driver has been broken since before we started using git and no one has complained so probably we should just remove it.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
