From 0a9a8bfd29aa5ba2298dc80852cdbb63a42f6576 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Horman Date: Mon, 23 Dec 2013 08:29:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] printk: Add a DEPRECATED macro sctp has several points in its setsockopt path in which it issues deprecation warnings. It seems like it might be handy to macrotize such a warning so other subsystems can use it easily Signed-off-by: Neil Horman CC: Greg Kroah-Hartman CC: "David S.
