<title>isdn: hfcsusb: Fix mISDN driver crash caused by transfer buffer on the stack</title>

<id>d8a1de3d5bb881507602bc02e004904828f88711</id>
<content type='text'>
Since linux 4.9 it is not possible to use buffers on the stack for DMA transfers.

During usb probe the driver crashes with "transfer buffer is on stack" message.

This fix k-allocates a buffer to be used on "read_reg_atomic", which is a macro
that calls "usb_control_msg" under the hood.

<title>isdn: mISDN: hfcsusb: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in start_isoc_chain()</title>

<id>a0d57a552b836206ad7705a1060e6e1ce5a38203</id>
<content type='text'>
In start_isoc_chain(), usb_alloc_urb() on line 1392 may fail
and return NULL. At this time, fifo-&gt;iso[i].urb is assigned to NULL.

Then, fifo-&gt;iso[i].urb is used at some places, such as:
LINE 1405:    fill_isoc_urb(fifo-&gt;iso[i].urb, ...)
                  urb-&gt;number_of_packets = num_packets;
                  urb-&gt;transfer_flags = URB_ISO_ASAP;
                  urb-&gt;actual_length = 0;
                  urb-&gt;interval = interval;
LINE 1416:    fifo-&gt;iso[i].urb-&gt;...
LINE 1419:    fifo-&gt;iso[i].urb-&gt;...

Thus, possible null-pointer dereferences may occur.

To fix these bugs, "continue" is added to avoid using fifo-&gt;iso[i].urb
when it is NULL.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.

The mISDN driver was added on those commits:

	960366cf8dbb ("Add mISDN DSP")
	1b2b03f8e514 ("Add mISDN core files")
	04578dd330f1 ("Define AF_ISDN and PF_ISDN")
	e4ac9bc1f668 ("Add mISDN driver")

None of them added a Documentation/isdn/mISDN.cert file.
Also, whatever were supposed to be written there on that time,
probably doesn't make any sense nowadays, as I doubt isdn would
have any massive changes.

So, let's just get rid of the broken reference, in order to
shut up a warning produced by ./scripts/documentation-file-ref-check.

isdn: deprecate non-mISDN drivers

When isdn4linux came up in the context of another patch series, I
remembered that we had discussed removing it a while ago.

It turns out that the suggestion from Karsten Keil wa to remove I4L
in 2018 after the last public ISDN networks are shut down. This has
happened now (with a very small number of exceptions), so I guess it's
time to try again.

We currently have three ISDN stacks in the kernel: the original
isdn4linux (with the hisax driver), the newer CAPI (with four drivers),
and finally the mISDN stack (supporting roughly the same hardware as
hisax).

As far as I can tell, anyone using ISDN with mainline kernel drivers in
the past few years uses mISDN, and this is typically used for voice-only
PBX installations that don't require a public network.

The older stacks support additional features for data networks, but those
typically make no sense any more if there is no network to connect to.

My proposal for this time is to kill off isdn4linux entirely, as it seems
to have been unusable for quite a while. This code has been abandoned
for many years and it does cause problems for treewide maintenance as
it tends to do everything that we try to stop doing.
Birger Harzenetter mentioned that is is still using i4l in order to
make use of the 'divert' feature that is not part of mISDN, but has
otherwise moved on to mISDN for normal operation, like apparently
everyone else.

CAPI in turn is not quite as obsolete, but two of the drivers (avm
and hysdn) don't seem to be used at all, while another one (gigaset)
will stop being maintained as Paul Bolle is no longer able to
test it after the network gets shut down in September.
All three are now moved into drivers/staging to let others speak
up in case there are remaining users.
This leaves Bluetooth CMTP as the only remaining user of CAPI, but
Marcel Holtmann wishes to keep maintaining it.

For the discussion on version 1, see [2]
Unfortunately, Karsten Keil as the maintainer has not participated in
the discussion.

 "Here is another set of reviewed patches that adds SPDX tags to
  different kernel files, based on a set of rules that are being used to
  parse the comments to try to determine that the license of the file is
  "GPL-2.0-or-later" or "GPL-2.0-only". Only the "obvious" versions of
  these matches are included here, a number of "non-obvious" variants of
  text have been found but those have been postponed for later review
  and analysis.

  There is also a patch in here to add the proper SPDX header to a bunch
  of Kbuild files that we have missed in the past due to new files being
  added and forgetting that Kbuild uses two different file names for
  Makefiles. This issue was reported by the Kbuild maintainer.

  These patches have been out for review on the linux-spdx@vger mailing
  list, and while they were created by automatic tools, they were
  hand-verified by a bunch of different people, all whom names are on
  the patches are reviewers"
