flat view
STALE2282d

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
Date: 2020-07-09 15:18:41
Also in: linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

The classic initial ramdisk has been replaced by the much more
flexible and efficient initramfs a long time.  Warn about it being
removed soon.
