The old ram_console driver is removed. This might probably cause some pain for out-of-tree code, as it would need to be adjusted... but "no pain, no gain"? :-) Though, if there's some serious resistance, we can probably postpone the last two patches.
What out-of-tree code would care about this?
I think he's referring to the persistent_ftrace work in the Android tree.
Oh, well.. that too, true. Thanks John!
Anton did send out patches to try to get equivalent functionality working with pstore, but I don't know if Colin or anyone else from the Android team has had a chance to review it and make sure its sufficient.
I thought Colin did review these, as I see his acked-by on a number of these patches...
Yup, and these patches are all fine. John is just saying that some removed functions are still used by the persistent_ftrace code, which is out-of-tree (it is in Android kernel git tree only).
But we're going to replace persistent_ftrace by pstore/ftrace, and the patches were posted already; so functinality-wise, we didn't lose anything.
Thanks,
