It's currently exposed only through /proc which, besides requiring
screen-scraping, doesn't allow userspace to distinguish between two
identical ATM adapters with different ATM indexes.  The ATM device index
is required when using PPPoATM on a system with multiple ATM adapters.

The kernel already prints its build timestamp during boot, no need to
repeat it in random drivers and produce different object files each

<title>net: convert %p usage to %pK</title>
<updated>2011-05-24T05:13:12+00:00</updated>

<id>71338aa7d050c86d8765cd36e46be514fb0ebbce</id>
<content type='text'>
The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces.  Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers.  The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.

If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs.  If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
 If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges.  Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

The supporting code for kptr_restrict and %pK are currently in the -mm
tree.  This patch converts users of %p in net/ to %pK.  Cases of printing
pointers to the syslog are not covered, since this would eliminate useful
information for postmortem debugging and the reading of the syslog is
already optionally protected by the dmesg_restrict sysctl.

The variable 'eth' is set but unused in lec_handle_bridge().  Also,
the variable 'priv' is set but unused in lane_module_cleanup().

Just kill them off.

Don't flap VCs when carrier state changes; higher-level protocols
can detect loss of connectivity and act accordingly. This is more
consistent with how other network interfaces work.

We no longer use release_vccs() so we can delete it.

release_vccs() was duplicated from net/atm/common.c; make the
corresponding function exported, since other code duplicates it
and could leverage it if it were public.
