The netiucv driver creates TCP/IP interfaces over IUCV between Linux guests on z/VM and other z/VM entities. Rationale for removal: - NETIUCV connections are only supported for compatibility with earlier versions and not to be used for new network setups, since at least Linux kernel 4.0. - No known active users, use cases, or product dependencies - The driver is no longer relevant for z/VM networking; preferred methods include: * Device pass-through (e.g., OSA, RoCE) * z/VM Virtual Switch (VSWITCH) The IUCV mechanism itself remains supported and is actively used via AF_IUCV, hvc_iucv, and smsg_iucv.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
