This feature is a mess -- the hash function has been broken for the entire 15 years of its existence if you create names with extended ascii bytes; metadump name obfuscation has silently failed for just as long; and the feature clashes horribly with the UTF8 encodings that most systems use today. There is exactly one fstest for this feature. In other words, this feature is crap. Let's deprecate it now so we can remove it from the codebase in 2030. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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 Restructured Text 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.
