X-Git-Tag: v2.6.20-rc1~34^2~40^2~52 X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0b251df1039f560ef88a9180a80023e4f82596bd;p=linux-2.6 [NETFILTER]: Kill ip_queue from feature removal schedule. We really can't remove ip_queue. Many users use this, there is no binary compatible interface and even the compat replacement for the originally statically linked library doesn't work. There is also no real necessity to remove the code, so the feature-removal-schedule entry should be removed instead. Signed-off-by: David S.
