[RFC] Patch series to remove devfs [00/22]

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

 



As everyone knows[1], devfs is going to be removed from the kernel soon.
To accomplish this, here is a series of patches (22 in all) that do just
that.  Surprisingly enough, devfs was almost everywhere in the kernel,
that's why it takes so many patches :)

Anyway, here's the whole series against 2.6.12-rc6-git4.  If some of
them don't make it through to lkml (due to size restrictions, or just
failing on a "taste" filter), you can find them all at:
	http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/gregkh-05-devfs/
along with a quilt series file to apply them with.

Andrew, please do not pick these up for your -mm tree.  Odds are it will
just cause too many conflicts to make it worth your while :)

Comments welcome.

Oh, and the best part?  Here's the summary of the diffstat:

  222 files changed, 112 insertions(+), 8545 deletions(-)

It's nice to remove code from the kernel for a change...

thanks,

greg k-h
