Message   LWN.net    All   Kernel code removals driven by LLM-created security reports   April 22, 2026
 6:40 AM *  

There are a number of ongoing efforts to remove kernel code, mostly from
the networking subsystem, as an alternative to dealing with the increase in
security-bug reports from large language models.  The proposed removals
include ISA
and PCMCIA Ethernet drivers, a pair
of PCI drivers, the ax25 and amateur
radio subsystem, the ATM protocols and drivers,
and the ISDN
subsystem.

Remove the amateur radio (AX.25, NET/ROM, ROSE) protocol
	implementation and all associated hamradio device drivers from the
	kernel tree.  This set of protocols has long been a huge bug/syzbot
	magnet, and since nobody stepped up to help us deal with the influx
	of the AI-generated bug reports we need to move it out of tree to
	protect our sanity.
