I started looking at the history of this driver, and last time the
maintainer was active on the mailing list was when discussing how to
remove it. This was in 2012:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/4F4DE175.30002@melware.de/

It looks to me like this has in practice been an orphan for quite a while.
It's throwing warnings about stack size in a function that is in dire
need of refactoring, and it's probably a case of "it's time to call it".

<id>urn:sha1:6009d1fe6ba3bb2dab55921da60465329cc1cd89</id>
<content type='text'>
In divasmain.c, the function divas_write() firstly invokes the function
diva_xdi_open_adapter() to open the adapter that matches with the adapter
number provided by the user, and then invokes the function diva_xdi_write()
to perform the write operation using the matched adapter. The two functions
diva_xdi_open_adapter() and diva_xdi_write() are located in diva.c.

In diva_xdi_open_adapter(), the user command is copied to the object 'msg'
from the userspace pointer 'src' through the function pointer 'cp_fn',
which eventually calls copy_from_user() to do the copy. Then, the adapter
number 'msg.adapter' is used to find out a matched adapter from the
'adapter_queue'. A matched adapter will be returned if it is found.
Otherwise, NULL is returned to indicate the failure of the verification on
the adapter number.

As mentioned above, if a matched adapter is returned, the function
diva_xdi_write() is invoked to perform the write operation. In this
function, the user command is copied once again from the userspace pointer
'src', which is the same as the 'src' pointer in diva_xdi_open_adapter() as
both of them are from the 'buf' pointer in divas_write(). Similarly, the
copy is achieved through the function pointer 'cp_fn', which finally calls
copy_from_user(). After the successful copy, the corresponding command
processing handler of the matched adapter is invoked to perform the write
operation.

It is obvious that there are two copies here from userspace, one is in
diva_xdi_open_adapter(), and one is in diva_xdi_write(). Plus, both of
these two copies share the same source userspace pointer, i.e., the 'buf'
pointer in divas_write(). Given that a malicious userspace process can race
to change the content pointed by the 'buf' pointer, this can pose potential
security issues. For example, in the first copy, the user provides a valid
adapter number to pass the verification process and a valid adapter can be
found. Then the user can modify the adapter number to an invalid number.
This way, the user can bypass the verification process of the adapter
number and inject inconsistent data.

This patch reuses the data copied in
diva_xdi_open_adapter() and passes it to diva_xdi_write(). This way, the
above issues can be avoided.

<title>vfs: do bulk POLL* -&gt; EPOLL* replacement</title>

<content type='text'>
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL*
variables as described by Al, done by this script:

    for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do
        L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'`
        for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\&lt;POLL$V\&gt;\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done
    done

with de-mangling cleanups yet to come.

NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same
values as the POLL* constants do.  But they keyword here is "almost".
For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't
actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al.

The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we
should be all done.

pci_device_id are not supposed to change at runtime. All functions
working with pci_device_id provided by &lt;linux/pci.h&gt; work with
const pci_device_id. So mark the non-const structs as const.

File size before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   6224	    655	      8	   6887	   1ae7	isdn/hardware/eicon/divasmain.o

File size After adding 'const':
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   6608	    271	      8	   6887	   1ae7	isdn/hardware/eicon/divasmain.o

  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include &lt;linux/uaccess.h&gt;!" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

<title>isdn: eicon: fix old-style declarations</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ac565065a60a78fe67aa1d3bb0ddc5361d2587d4</id>
<content type='text'>
Modern C standards expect the '__inline__' keyword to come before the return
type in a declaration, and we get many warnings for this with "make W=1"
because the eicon driver has this in a header file:

eicon/divasmain.c:448:1: error: '__inline__' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
eicon/divasmain.c:453:1: error: '__inline__' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
eicon/divasmain.c:458:1: error: '__inline__' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
eicon/divasmain.c:463:1: error: '__inline__' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
eicon/divasmain.c:468:1: error: '__inline__' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
eicon/divasmain.c:473:1: error: '__inline__' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
eicon/platform.h:274:1: error: '__inline__' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]
eicon/platform.h:280:1: error: '__inline__' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]

A similar warning gets printed for the diva_os_register_io_port()
declaration, because 'register' is interpreted as a keyword instead
of a variable name:

In file included from eicon/diva_didd.c:21:0:
eicon/platform.h:206:1: error: 'register' is not at beginning of declaration [-Werror=old-style-declaration]

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.
