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.

net: remove unused ATM protocols and legacy ATM device drivers

2026-04-23T19:21:14+00:00

Remove the ATM protocol modules and PCI/SBUS ATM device drivers that are no longer in active use. The ATM core protocol stack, PPPoATM, BR2684, and USB DSL modem drivers (drivers/usb/atm/) are retained in-tree to maintain PPP over ATM (PPPoA) and PPPoE-over-BR2684 support for DSL connections. The Solos ADSL2+ PCI driver is also retained. Removed ATM protocol modules: - net/atm/clip.c - Classical IP over ATM (RFC 2225) - net/atm/lec.c - LAN Emulation Client (LANE) - net/atm/mpc.c, mpoa_caches.c, mpoa_proc.c - Multi-Protocol Over ATM Removed PCI/SBUS ATM device drivers (drivers/atm/): - adummy, atmtcp - software/testing ATM devices - eni - Efficient Networks ENI155P (OC-3, ~1995) - fore200e - FORE Systems 200E PCI/SBUS (OC-3, ~1999) - he - ForeRunner HE (OC-3/OC-12, ~2000) - idt77105 - IDT 77105 25 Mbps ATM PHY - idt77252 - IDT 77252 NICStAR II (OC-3, ~2000) - iphase - Interphase ATM PCI (OC-3/DS3/E3) - lanai - Efficient Networks Speedstream 3010 - nicstar - IDT 77201 NICStAR (155/25 Mbps, ~1999) - suni - PMC S/UNI SONET PHY library Also clean up references in: - net/bridge/ - remove ATM LANE hook (br_fdb_test_addr_hook, br_fdb_test_addr) - net/core/dev.c - remove br_fdb_test_addr_hook export - defconfig files - remove ATM driver config options The removed code is moved to an out-of-tree module package (mod-orphan).

proc: convert everything to "struct proc_ops"

vcc_seq_next should increase position index

2020-01-24T10:42:18+00:00

if seq_file .next fuction does not change position index, read after some lseek can generate unexpected output. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206283 Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

atm: clean up vcc_seq_next()

2019-02-17T02:12:22+00:00

It's confusing to call PTR_ERR(v). The PTR_ERR() function is basically a fancy cast to long so it makes you wonder, was IS_ERR() intended? But that doesn't make sense because vcc_walk() doesn't return error pointers. This patch doesn't affect runtime, it's just a cleanup. Signed-off-by: Dan Carpenter Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

atm: switch to proc_create_seq_private

And remove proc boilerplate code. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

atm: simplify procfs code

2018-05-16T05:24:30+00:00

Use remove_proc_subtree to remove the whole subtree on cleanup, and unwind the registration loop into individual calls. Switch to use proc_create_seq where applicable. Also don't bother handling proc_create* failures - the driver works perfectly fine without the proc files, and the cleanup will handle missing files gracefully. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

net: Use octal not symbolic permissions

2018-03-26T16:07:48+00:00

net: delete /proc THIS_MODULE references

2018-01-16T20:01:33+00:00

/proc has been ignoring struct file_operations::owner field for 10 years. Specifically, it started with commit 786d7e1612f0b0adb6046f19b906609e4fe8b1ba ("Fix rmmod/read/write races in /proc entries"). Notice the chunk where inode->i_fop is initialized with proxy struct file_operations for regular files: - if (de->proc_fops) - inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops; + if (de->proc_fops) { + if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode)) + inode->i_fop = &proc_reg_file_ops; + else + inode->i_fop = de->proc_fops; + } VFS stopped pinning module at this point.
