What: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj
When: August 2012
Why: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj allows userspace to influence the oom killer's
badness heuristic used to determine which task to kill when the kernel
is out of memory.

The badness heuristic has since been rewritten since the introduction of
this tunable such that its meaning is deprecated. The value was
implemented as a bitshift on a score generated by the badness()
function that did not have any precise units of measure. With the
rewrite, the score is given as a proportion of available memory to the
task allocating pages, so using a bitshift which grows the score
exponentially is, thus, impossible to tune with fine granularity.

A much more powerful interface, /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj, was
introduced with the oom killer rewrite that allows users to increase or
decrease the badness() score linearly. This interface will replace
/proc/<pid>/oom_adj.

A warning will be emitted to the kernel log if an application uses this
deprecated interface. After it is printed once, future warnings will be
suppressed until the kernel is rebooted.

What: dv1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-DV I/O support" for FireWire)
Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
/dev/dv1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
controller and for NTSC and PAL respectively, from which DV data
could be received by read() or transmitted by write(). A few
ioctl()s allowed limited control.
This special-purpose interface has been superseded by libraw1394 +
libiec61883 which are functionally equivalent, support HDV, and
transparently work on top of the newer firewire kernel drivers.

What: raw1394 (a.k.a. "Raw IEEE1394 I/O support" for FireWire)
Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
/dev/raw1394 was a character device file that allowed low-level
access to FireWire buses. Its major drawbacks were its inability
to implement sensible device security policies, and its low level
of abstraction that required userspace clients do duplicate much
of the kernel's ieee1394 core functionality.
Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
firewire-core.

What: video1394 (a.k.a. "OHCI-1394 Video support" for FireWire)
Date: May 2010 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.37
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
/dev/video1394/* were character device files, one for each FireWire
controller, which were used for isochronous I/O. It was added as an
alternative to raw1394's isochronous I/O functionality which had
performance issues in its first generation. Any video1394 user had
to use raw1394 + libraw1394 too because video1394 did not provide
asynchronous I/O for device discovery and configuration.
Replaced by /dev/fw*, i.e. the <linux/firewire-cdev.h> ABI of
firewire-core.

What: /sys/block/zram<id>/disksize
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The disksize file is read-write and specifies the disk size
which represents the limit on the *uncompressed* worth of data
that can be stored in this disk.

What: /sys/block/zram<id>/initstate
Date: August 2010

The disksize file is read-only and shows the initialization
state of the device.

What: /sys/block/zram<id>/reset
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The disksize file is write-only and allows resetting the
device. The reset operation frees all the memory assocaited
with this device.

Description:

Being used for adding and removing rbd block devices.

Usage: <mon ip addr> <options> <pool name> <rbd image name> [snap name]

$ echo "192.168.0.1 name=admin rbd foo" > /sys/bus/rbd/add

The snapshot name can be "-" or omitted to map the image read/write. A <dev-id>
will be assigned for any registered block device. If snapshot is used, it will
be mapped read-only.

Removal of a device:

$ echo <dev-id> > /sys/bus/rbd/remove

--------------------------------------------

client_id

The ceph unique client id that was assigned for this specific session.

name

The name of the rbd image.

pool

The pool where this rbd image resides. The pool-name pair is unique
per rados system.

size

$ echo <snap-name> > /sys/bus/rbd/devices/<dev-id>/snap_create

rollback_snap
