Hi, this patch series removes the deprecated UAPI which is: - RAW socket -> get replaced by AF_PACKET raw - ioctl -> get replaced by nl802154 - old netlink api --- The first point, it's broken since "I don't know" it's not really a RAW socket. It's now replaced by AF_PACKET RAW socket. For 802.15.4 sockets we need anyway at least some DGRAM socket only to handle mac frames. --- The ioctl was introduced with a "dev_warn" that somebody should not use ioctl. I don't know why, but it's for me similar like debugfs when users get such warning for a ioctl. Also I don't know if it's really working if we override such ioctl for own meaning, I would assume that such ioctl should use some private ioctl request room and not the usually common where other userspace applications assume a raw byte array and not a struct. --- The last one is the old netlink api, there still coming fixes to the mailinglist. Also since net namespace support this netlink interface gets more and more broken, because it doesn't know anything about namespaces. I think it's not broken but you need to use nl802154 for that and the old netlink interface will simple not handle different namespaces e.g. dump interface). It assumes that every interface is inside "&init_net". Also it doesn't allow me to work on llsec more without keeping care about not breaking this UAPI and I don't have any "useable" userspace utility to testing everything which is related to that netlink API. - Alex Alexander Aring (4): ieee802154: socket: remove af802154 raw socket mac802154: keep Makefile sync with mac80211 ieee802154: remove old netlink api mac802154: iface: remove ioctl functionality include/net/cfg802154.h | 6 - include/net/ieee802154_netdev.h | 38 -- net/ieee802154/Makefile | 3 +- net/ieee802154/core.c | 57 +- net/ieee802154/ieee802154.h | 86 --- net/ieee802154/netlink.c | 152 ----- net/ieee802154/nl-mac.c | 1349 --------------------------------------- net/ieee802154/nl-phy.c | 349 ---------- net/ieee802154/nl_policy.c | 78 --- net/ieee802154/rdev-ops.h | 17 - net/ieee802154/socket.c | 277 +------- net/mac802154/Makefile | 13 +- net/mac802154/cfg.c | 26 - net/mac802154/iface.c | 86 +-- net/mac802154/mac_cmd.c | 152 ----- net/mac802154/mib.c | 227 ------- 16 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 2895 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 net/ieee802154/ieee802154.h delete mode 100644 net/ieee802154/netlink.c delete mode 100644 net/ieee802154/nl-mac.c delete mode 100644 net/ieee802154/nl-phy.c delete mode 100644 net/ieee802154/nl_policy.c delete mode 100644 net/mac802154/mac_cmd.c delete mode 100644 net/mac802154/mib.c -- 2.9.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
