Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] Documentation/ABI: mark /sys/kernel/fadump_* sysfs files deprecated
Date: Sat,  9 Nov 2019 17:53:38 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191109122339.20484-4-sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191109122339.20484-1-sourabhjain@linux.ibm.com>

The /sys/kernel/fadump_* sysfs files are replicated under
/sys/kernel/fadump/ directory. But we need to keep the old
sysfs files to maintain the backward compatibility.

The sysfs files are scheduled to remove by 2021.
