However it is not a big deal because those are defaults anyway and the options for setting their opposites still remains in kernel (however are still deprecated). Also push the kernel version to remove those leftover options further in time. diff --git a/fs/ext4/super.c b/fs/ext4/super.c index 9ea71aa..a75320e 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/super.c +++ b/fs/ext4/super.c @@ -1486,24 +1483,13 @@ static int parse_options(char *options, struct super_block *sb, args[0].to = args[0].from = NULL; token = match_token(p, tokens, args); switch (token) { - case Opt_bsd_df: - ext4_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING, deprecated_msg, p, "2.6.38"); - clear_opt(sb, MINIX_DF); - break; case Opt_minix_df: - ext4_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING, deprecated_msg, p, "2.6.38"); + ext4_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING, deprecated_msg, p, "3.5"); set_opt(sb, MINIX_DF); - break; case Opt_grpid: - ext4_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING, deprecated_msg, p, "2.6.38"); + ext4_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING, deprecated_msg, p, "3.5"); set_opt(sb, GRPID); - - break; - case Opt_nogrpid: - ext4_msg(sb, KERN_WARNING, deprecated_msg, p, "2.6.38"); - clear_opt(sb, GRPID);One problem is that these options haven't been deprecated in major vendor releases (e.g. 2.6.32 for RHEL6 and SLES11), which is what most people are using. I think that they should be deprecated for at least one major vendor release before being removed, otherwise it is nearly the same as just deleting them on some random kernel version without telling anyone. I'm not sure where you got "2.6.23" and "2.6.28" from, maybe you meant "2.6.33", which is unfortunately just after the cutoff for both RHEL6 and SLES11SP1. Cheers, Andreas
I am not sure that I follow the concern - people who use upstream follow that, people who use vendor kernels get some branched version of something old.
In fact, we try hard *not* to do things in RHEL kernels that are not upstream first. I would be perfectly happy to drop it upstream first and then deprecate it in a future RHEL release.
Thanks! Ric (and Lukas is *very* familiar with which kernel the ext4 code was lifted from :)) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
