248 | When: 2.6.26 | ||
249 | Why: Not used in-tree. The current out-of-tree users used it to | ||
250 | work around problems in the CPA code which should be resolved | ||
251 | by now. One usecase was described to provide verification code | ||
252 | of the CPA operation. That's a good idea in general, but such | ||
253 | code / infrastructure should be in the kernel and not in some | ||
254 | out-of-tree driver. | ||

329 | What: SELinux "compat_net" functionality | ||
330 | When: 2.6.30 at the earliest | ||
331 | Why: In 2.6.18 the Secmark concept was introduced to replace the "compat_net" | ||
332 | network access control functionality of SELinux. Secmark offers both | ||
333 | better performance and greater flexibility than the "compat_net" | ||
334 | mechanism. Now that the major Linux distributions have moved to | ||
335 | Secmark, it is time to deprecate the older mechanism and start the | ||
336 | process of removing the old code. | ||
