1What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
2Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
3Description:
4 New application development should use raw1394 + userspace libraries
5 instead, notably libiec61883 which is functionally equivalent.

9 dvgrab v1.x (replaced by dvgrab2 on top of raw1394 and resp. libraries)

1What: /sys/o2cb symlink
2Date: Dec 2005
3KernelVersion: 2.6.16
4Contact: ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com
5Description: This is a symlink: /sys/o2cb to /sys/fs/o2cb. The symlink will
6 be removed when new versions of ocfs2-tools which know to look
7 in /sys/fs/o2cb are sufficiently prevalent. Don't code new
8 software to look here, it should try /sys/fs/o2cb instead.
9 See Documentation/ABI/stable/o2cb for more information on usage.
10Users: ocfs2-tools. It's sufficient to mail proposed changes to
11 ocfs2-devel@oss.oracle.com.

1What: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj
2When: August 2012
3Why: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj allows userspace to influence the oom killer's
4 badness heuristic used to determine which task to kill when the kernel
5 is out of memory.
6
7 The badness heuristic has since been rewritten since the introduction of
8 this tunable such that its meaning is deprecated. The value was
9 implemented as a bitshift on a score generated by the badness()
10 function that did not have any precise units of measure. With the
11 rewrite, the score is given as a proportion of available memory to the
12 task allocating pages, so using a bitshift which grows the score
13 exponentially is, thus, impossible to tune with fine granularity.
14
15 A much more powerful interface, /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj, was
16 introduced with the oom killer rewrite that allows users to increase or
17 decrease the badness() score linearly. This interface will replace
18 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj.
19
20 A warning will be emitted to the kernel log if an application uses this
21 deprecated interface. After it is printed once, future warnings will be
22 suppressed until the kernel is rebooted.

1What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/<busnum>-<devnum>:<config num>.<interface num>/<hid-bus>:<vendor-id>:<product-id>.<num>/koneplus/roccatkoneplus<minor>/startup_profile
2Date: October 2010
3Contact: Stefan Achatz <erazor_de@users.sourceforge.net>
4Description: The integer value of this attribute ranges from 0-4.
5 When read, this attribute returns the number of the actual
6 profile. This value is persistent, so its equivalent to the
7 profile that's active when the mouse is powered on next time.
8 When written, this file sets the number of the startup profile
9 and the mouse activates this profile immediately.
10 Please use actual_profile, it does the same thing.
