[PATCH] kernel_lockdown.7: Remove description of lifting via SysRq (not upstream)

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

 



From: dann frazier <dann.frazier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

dropped[*] before the feature was merged upstream. Having the feature
documented but unsupported has caused some confusion for our users.
