* zram: remove obsolete sysfs attrsSergey Senozhatsky2017-02-231-119/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had a deprecated_attr_warn() warning for 2 years and now the time has come and we finally can do the cleanup. The plan was as follows: : per-stat sysfs attributes are considered to be deprecated. : The basic strategy is: : -- the existing RW nodes will be downgraded to WO nodes (in linux 4.11) : -- deprecated RO sysfs nodes will eventually be removed (in linux 4.11) : : The list of deprecated attributes can be found here: : Documentation/ABI/obsolete/sysfs-block-zram : : Basically, every attribute that has its own read accessible sysfs : node (e.g. num_reads) *AND* is accessible via one of the stat files : (zram<id>/stat or zram<id>/io_stat or zram<id>/mm_stat) is considered : to be deprecated. The patch also removes `obsolete/sysfs-block-zram', clean ups `testing/sysfs-block-zram' and tweaks zram.txt files.

* zram: deprecate zram attrs sysfs nodesSergey Senozhatsky2015-04-161-0/+119
Add Documentation/ABI/obsolete/sysfs-block-zram file and list obsolete and deprecated attributes there. The patch also adds additional information to zram documentation and describes the basic strategy: - the existing RW nodes will be downgraded to WO nodes (in 4.11) - deprecated RO sysfs nodes will eventually be removed (in 4.11) Users will be additionally notified about deprecated attr usage by pr_warn_once() (added to every deprecated attr _show()), as suggested by Minchan Kim. User space is advised to use zram<id>/stat, zram<id>/io_stat and zram<id>/mm_stat files.
