From 624ae5284516870657505103ada531c64dba2a9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tyler Hicks Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:02:51 -0700 Subject: eCryptfs: remove netlink transport The netlink transport code has not worked for a while and the miscdev transport is a simpler solution. This patch removes the netlink code and makes the miscdev transport the only eCryptfs kernel to userspace transport.
