[PATCH 3/3] Documentation: Feature removal: Add deprecation of some hibernation ioctls

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@xxxxxxxxx>

Let this appear as deprecated in 2.6.25, remove after three
releases (2.6.28).

[rjw: Say that I will be removing the features and give the
reason for the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl deprecation.]
