dax: Kill DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT

2021-11-25T03:21:35Z

The /sys/class/dax compatibility option has shipped in the kernel for 4 years now which should be sufficient time for tools to abandon the old ABI in favor of the /sys/bus/dax device-model. Delete it now and see if anyone screams. Since this compatibility option shipped there has been more reports of users being surprised by the compat ABI than surprised by the "new", so the compat infrastructure has outlived its usefulness. Recall that /sys/bus/dax device-model is required for the dax kmem driver which allows PMEM to be used as "System RAM". The following projects were known to have a dependency on /sys/class/dax and have dropped their dependency as of the listed version: - ndctl (including libndctl, daxctl, and libdaxctl): v64+ - fio: v3.13+ - pmdk: v1.5.2+ As further evidence this option is no longer needed some distributions have already stopped enabling CONFIG_DEV_DAX_PMEM_COMPAT.

iio: Documentation: move incompatible ABI to obsolete

2021-05-17T12:49:11Z

Commit 63cd35f34d2e ("iio: Documentation: update definitions for bufferY and scan_elements") updated iio documentation in order to point to the newly per-buffer API, as it is now possible to support multi buffers. While the previous ABI will be kept forever, the best is for applications to use the 5.11+ ABI. So, move the legacy one ABI/obsolete. This fixes an issue with scripts/get_abi.pl, that doesn't accept two different Kernel version support for the same API set.

After seeing some users have subscription management trouble, more spam than other Linux development lists, and considering some of the benefits of kernel.org hosted lists, nvdimm and persistent memory development is moving to nvdimm@lists.linux.dev. The old list will remain up until v5.14-rc1 and shutdown thereafter.
