A much more powerful interface, /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj, was
introduced with the oom killer rewrite that allows users to increase or
- decrease the badness() score linearly. This interface will replace
+ decrease the badness score linearly. This interface will replace
/proc/<pid>/oom_adj.

-What: CS5535/CS5536 obsolete GPIO driver
-When: June 2011
-Files: drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/*
-Check: drivers/staging/cs5535_gpio/cs5535_gpio.c
-Why: A newer driver replaces this; it is drivers/gpio/cs5535-gpio.c, and
- integrates with the Linux GPIO subsystem. The old driver has been
- moved to staging, and will be removed altogether around 3.0.
- Please test the new driver, and ensure that the functionality you
- need and any bugfixes from the old driver are available in the new
- one.

- in the 'nfsd' filesystem.
-When: 3.0
-Why: This is a legacy interface which have been replaced by a more

-What: noswapaccount kernel command line parameter
-When: 3.0
-Why: The original implementation of memsw feature enabled by
- CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR_SWAP could be disabled by the noswapaccount
- kernel parameter (introduced in 2.6.29-rc1). Later on, this decision
- turned out to be not ideal because we cannot have the feature compiled
- in and disabled by default and let only interested to enable it
- (e.g. general distribution kernels might need it). Therefore we have
- added swapaccount[=0|1] parameter (introduced in 2.6.37) which provides
- the both possibilities. If we remove noswapaccount we will have
- less command line parameters with the same functionality and we
- can also cleanup the parameter handling a bit ().
