Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Documentation: Feature removal: Add deprecation of some hibernation ioctls
Date: Sun, 3 Feb 2008 22:59:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200802032259.04260.rjw@sisk.pl> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <200802032252.04852.rjw@sisk.pl>

From: Harvey Harrison <harvey.harrison@gmail.com>

Let this appear as deprecated in 2.6.25, remove after three
releases (2.6.28).

[rjw: Say that I will be removing the features and give the
reason for the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_FILE ioctl deprecation.]
