We forgot to remove a lot of crap interfaces during 2.5 development.
Let's start a list now so we don't forget during 2.7.
This list is a combination of interfaces which have gone during 2.5 and
interfaces that should go during 2.7. Think of it as a `updating your
driver/filesystem to sane code' guide.
sleep_on, sleep_on_timeout, interruptible_sleep_on,
interruptible_sleep_on_timeout
-> use wait_event interfaces
flush_page_to_ram
-> Documentation/cachetlb.txt
cli, sti, save_flags
-> Documentation/cli-sti-removal.txt
pcibios_*
-> Documentation/pci.txt
virt_to_bus, bus_to_virt
-> Documentation/DMA-mapping.txt
check_region
-> Just use request_region and handle the failure
kmap
-> Use kmap_atomic instead
task queues
-> work queues
lock_kernel
-> spinlocks
smp_processor_id
-> get_cpu
-- Revolutions do not require corporate support. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
