Subject: [RFC] Patch series to remove devfs [00/22]
Date: Sat, 11 Jun 2005 00:43:27 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050611074327.GA27785@kroah.com> (raw)
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
