#1720850 — [PATCH 0/4] irda: move it to drivers/staging so we can delete it

FromGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date2017-08-27 17:10 +0200
Subject[PATCH 0/4] irda: move it to drivers/staging so we can delete it
Message-ID<uj7mi-Vo-23@gated-at.bofh.it>
The IRDA code has long been obsolete and broken.  So, to keep people
from trying to use it, and to prevent people from having to maintain it,
let's move it to drivers/staging/ so that we can delete it entirely from
the kernel in a few releases.


Greg Kroah-Hartman (4):
  irda: move net/irda/ to drivers/staging/irda/net/
  irda: move drivers/net/irda to drivers/staging/irda/drivers
  irda: move include/net/irda into staging subdirectory
  staging: irda: add a TODO file.

MAINTAINERS should be updated as well.

It'd probably be nice to try to get an email to
the irda mailing list too if it still works.

As get_maintainer.pl didn't show it, odds are it doesn't...

get_maintainer doesn't show it because it's subscriber-only.
If you want get_maintainer to show it, add -s

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl  -s -f net/irda/
Samuel Ortiz <samuel@sortiz.org> (maintainer:IRDA SUBSYSTEM)
"David S. Miller" <davem@davemloft.net> (maintainer:NETWORKING [GENERAL])

that delete the subsystem :)

netdev@ should be all that is needed here anyway...

IRDA works fine in Debian 9 (kernel 4.9) and I use it for simple file 
transfer. Hope I'm not the only one...

Odd, and is this just a ir device connected to a "real" serial port, or
a specific IRDA device?

Yes, it's an external IrDA dongle connected to a real serial port.

I also have an ARK3116-based USB IrDA dongle and some laptops with integrated 
IrDA ports that used to work fine but haven't tested them recently (i.e. 
Debian 9).

(diving into an early boot crash)

Have you tried running this? ;-)

irda_init() and net_dev_init() are both subsys_initcall()s.
But the former now runs before the latter, leading to:

Should be fixed by https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/807006/
("[net-next] staging: irda: force to be a kernel module") I guess...

Thanks, that patch fixes the crash, obviously.

It does mean you can no longer have IrDA in a non-modular kernel.

The initialization with everything built-in worked fine before your

built-in.
