[PATCH] add note about verify_area removal to Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt

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

 



Add note about the soon-to-come removal of verify_area() to 
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt, so it can be clearly 
deprecated *and* documented to go away real-soon-now in 2.6.12 (if there's 
time to push it to Linus before 2.6.12 hits).

This was already in -mm earlier, but some duplicate patch submission 
(error on my part) caused it to be messed up and then removed.
