From 5716d415f8c5a17d44f6e1d5a1e4998f7306a93b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dominik Brodowski Date: Sun, 11 Jul 2010 09:51:14 +0200 Subject: pcmcia: remove obsolete ioctl Signed-off-by: Dominik Brodowski --- Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt | 23 ----------------------- 1 file changed, 23 deletions(-) (limited to 'Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt') diff --git a/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt b/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt index c268783bc4e7..27ed68d95adc 100644 --- a/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt +++ b/Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt @@ -116,29 +116,6 @@ Who: Mauro Carvalho Chehab --------------------------- -What: PCMCIA control ioctl (needed for pcmcia-cs [cardmgr, cardctl]) -When: 2.6.35/2.6.36 -Files: drivers/pcmcia/: pcmcia_ioctl.c -Why: With the 16-bit PCMCIA subsystem now behaving (almost) like a - normal hotpluggable bus, and with it using the default kernel - infrastructure (hotplug, driver core, sysfs) keeping the PCMCIA - control ioctl needed by cardmgr and cardctl from pcmcia-cs is - unnecessary and potentially harmful (it does not provide for - proper locking), and makes further cleanups and integration of the - PCMCIA subsystem into the Linux kernel device driver model more - difficult. The features provided by cardmgr and cardctl are either - handled by the kernel itself now or are available in the new - pcmciautils package available at - http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/ - - For all architectures except ARM, the associated config symbol - has been removed from kernel 2.6.34; for ARM, it will be likely - be removed from kernel 2.6.35. The actual code will then likely - be removed from kernel 2.6.36. -Who: Dominik Brodowski - ---------------------------- - What: sys_sysctl When: September 2010 Option: CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL -- cgit v1.2.3
