As the uapi ipx file still exists but the functionality has been removed, perhaps some compiler message like #pragma message "IPX functionality removed as of linux kernel v4.18" should be added to the uapi file. > diff --git a/MAINTAINERS b/MAINTAINERS > [] > @@ -7672,7 +7672,6 @@ IPX NETWORK LAYER > L: netdev@vger.kernel.org > S: Obsolete > F: include/uapi/linux/ipx.h > -F: drivers/staging/ipx/ > > IRQ DOMAINS (IRQ NUMBER MAPPING LIBRARY) > M: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com> ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

Eventually those files should be removed by the networking developers. It will take a bit of work for them to do it, it's not a straight "delete the file" work. thanks, greg k-h ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
