Subject: Reminder for feature Unused EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL exports removal date before 2.6.19 Nov 2006
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:33:43 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1246586623.2530.6.camel@jaswinder.satnam> (raw)

Hello Arjan,

What:   Unused EXPORT_SYMBOL/EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL exports
        (temporary transition config option provided until then)
        The transition config option will also be removed at the same time.
When:   before 2.6.19
Why:    Unused symbols are both increasing the size of the kernel binary
        and are often a sign of "wrong API"
Who:    Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>

If you are facing any issue regarding feature removal kindly update the
"Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt" like what you are waiting
for.

Thanks,
