The following is a list of files and features that are going to be
|
|
|
|
|
removed in the kernel source tree. Every entry should contain what
|
|
|
|
|
exactly is going away, why it is happening, and who is going to be doing
|
|
|
|
|
the work. When the feature is removed from the kernel, it should also
|
|
|
|
|
be removed from this file.

What: MXSER
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

Why: Old mxser driver is obsoleted by the mxser_new. Give it some time yet
|
|
|

and remove it.

What: V4L2 VIDIOC_G_MPEGCOMP and VIDIOC_S_MPEGCOMP
|
|
|
|
|
When: October 2007
|
|
|
|
|
Why: Broken attempt to set MPEG compression parameters. These ioctls are
|
|
|
|
|
not able to implement the wide variety of parameters that can be set
|
|
|
|
|
by hardware MPEG encoders. A new MPEG control mechanism was created
|
|
|
|
|
in kernel 2.6.18 that replaces these ioctls. See the V4L2 specification

2006-08-31 04:50:27 +08:00
|
|
|
When: July 2007
|
|
|
|
|
Why: Broken design for runtime control over driver power states, confusing
|
|
|
|
|
driver-internal runtime power management with: mechanisms to support
|
|
|
|
|
system-wide sleep state transitions; event codes that distinguish
|
|
|
|
|
different phases of swsusp "sleep" transitions; and userspace policy
|
|
|
|
|
inputs. This framework was never widely used, and most attempts to
|
|
|
|
|
use it were broken. Drivers should instead be exposing domain-specific
|
|
|
|
|
interfaces either to kernel or to userspace.

|
2005-11-09 13:38:53 +08:00
|
|
|
Why: V4L1 AP1 was replaced by V4L2 API. during migration from 2.4 to 2.6
|
|
|
|
|
series. The old API have lots of drawbacks and don't provide enough
|
|
|
|
|
means to work with all video and audio standards. The newer API is
|
|
|
|
|
already available on the main drivers and should be used instead.
|
|
|
|
|
Newer drivers should use v4l_compat_translate_ioctl function to handle
|
|
|
|
|
old calls, replacing to newer ones.
|
|
|
|
|
Decoder iocts are using internally to allow video drivers to
|
|
|
|
|
communicate with video decoders. This should also be improved to allow
|
|
|
|
|
V4L2 calls being translated into compatible internal ioctls.

|
|
When: November 2005
|
|
|
|
|
Files: drivers/pcmcia/: pcmcia_ioctl.c
|
|
|
|
|
Why: With the 16-bit PCMCIA subsystem now behaving (almost) like a
|
|
|
|
|
normal hotpluggable bus, and with it using the default kernel
|
|
|
|
|
infrastructure (hotplug, driver core, sysfs) keeping the PCMCIA
|
|
|
|
|
control ioctl needed by cardmgr and cardctl from pcmcia-cs is
|
|
|
|
|
unnecessary, and makes further cleanups and integration of the
|
|
|
|
|
PCMCIA subsystem into the Linux kernel device driver model more
|
|
|
|
|
difficult. The features provided by cardmgr and cardctl are either
|
|
|
|
|
handled by the kernel itself now or are available in the new
|
|

Check: kernel_thread
|
2006-03-24 19:18:22 +08:00
|
|

Why: kernel_thread is a low-level implementation detail. Drivers should

|
|
|
|
use the <linux/kthread.h> API instead which shields them from
|
|
|
|
|
implementation details and provides a higherlevel interface that

possible to create userspace USB drivers using usbfs/libusb/gadgetfs
|
|
|
|
|
that operate as fast as the USB bus allows. Because of this, the USB

|
|
|
|
subsystem will not be allowing closed source kernel drivers to
|
|
|
|
|
register with it, after this grace period is over. If anyone needs

any help in converting their closed source drivers over to use the

userspace filesystems, please contact the

What: libata spindown skipping and warning
|
libata: implement libata.spindown_compat
Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on
shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming,
some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their
shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on
STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so
this double spinning down causes problem.
This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which,
when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down
disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that
libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with
libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down
in all cases without modifying shutdown(8).
shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on
SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks
currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and
then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the
head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be
dangerous data integrity-wise.
So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by
the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do.
* Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat
exists. If it does, write 0 to it.
* For each libata harddisk {
* Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop
exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk
down as before.
}
The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels
before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without
it.
To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this
patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the
optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by
hours of tireless usability testing).

libata: implement libata.spindown_compat
Now that libata uses sd->manage_start_stop, libata spins down disk on
shutdown. In an attempt to compensate libata's previous shortcoming,
some distros sync and spin down disks attached via libata in their
shutdown(8). Some disks spin back up just to spin down again on
STANDBYNOW1 if the command is issued when the disk is spun down, so
this double spinning down causes problem.
This patch implements module parameter libata.spindown_compat which,
when set to one (default value), prevents libata from spinning down
disks on shutdown thus avoiding double spinning down. Note that
libata spins down disks for suspend to mem and disk, so with
libata.spindown_compat set to one, disks should be properly spun down
in all cases without modifying shutdown(8).
shutdown(8) should be fixed eventually. Some drive do spin up on
SYNCHRONZE_CACHE even when their cache is clean. Those disks
currently spin up briefly when sd tries to shutdown the device and
then the machine powers off immediately, which can't be good for the
head. We can't skip SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE during shudown as it can be
dangerous data integrity-wise.
So, this spindown_compat parameter is already scheduled for removal by
the end of the next year and here's what shutdown(8) should do.
* Check whether /sys/modules/libata/parameters/spindown_compat
exists. If it does, write 0 to it.
* For each libata harddisk {
* Check whether /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop
exists. Iff it doesn't, synchronize cache and spin the disk
down as before.
}
The above procedure will make shutdown(8) work properly with kernels
before this change, ones with this workaround and later ones without
it.
To accelerate shutdown(8) updates, if the compat mode is in use, this
patch prints BIG FAT warning for five seconds during shutdown (the
optimal interval to annoy the user just the right amount discovered by
hours of tireless usability testing).

Because issuing spin down command to an already spun down disk
|
2007-05-17 22:43:26 +08:00
|
|
|
makes some disks spin up just to spin down again, libata tracks
|
|
|
|
|
device spindown status to skip the extra spindown command and
|
|
|
|
|
warn about it.
|
|
|
|
|
This is to give userspace tools the time to get updated and will
|
|
|
|
|
be removed after userspace is reasonably updated.

Unfixable broken wrt. 32/64 bit cleanness.

What: The arch/ppc and include/asm-ppc directories
|

|
|
When: Jun 2008
|
|
|
|
|
Why: The arch/powerpc tree is the merged architecture for ppc32 and ppc64

|
|
|
|
platforms. Currently there are efforts underway to port the remaining
|
|
|
|
|
arch/ppc platforms to the merged tree. New submissions to the arch/ppc
|
|
|
|
|
tree have been frozen with the 2.6.22 kernel release and that tree will
|
|
|
|
|
remain in bug-fix only mode until its scheduled removal. Platforms
|
|
|
|
|
that are not ported by June 2008 will be removed due to the lack of an
|
|
|
|
|
interested maintainer.

|
When: January 2008
|
|
|
|
|
Files: drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca/*.[ch]
|
|
|
|
|
Why: All mthca hardware also supports MSI-X, which provides
|
|
|
|
|
strictly more functionality than MSI. So there is no point in
|
|
|
|
|
having both MSI-X and MSI support in the driver.
