2 | Date: July 2005 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.18 | ||
3 | Contact: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> | ||
4 | Description: | ||
5 | devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable | ||
6 | races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is | ||
7 | against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev. | ||
8 | The files fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h were removed, | ||
9 | along with the the assorted devfs function calls throughout the | ||
10 | kernel tree. | ||
