Hello Christoph,
What: remove EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_thread) When: August 2006 Files: arch/*/kernel/*_ksyms.c Check: kernel_thread Why: kernel_thread is a low-level implementation detail. Drivers should use the <linux/kthread.h> API instead which shields them from implementation details and provides a higherlevel interface that prevents bugs and code duplication Who: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
If you are facing any issue regarding feature removal kindly update the "Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt" like what you are waiting for.
Thanks, -- JSR
