Red Hat Waived Features

Red Hat waived features are features considered unmaintained, insecure, rudimentary, or deprecated and are shipped in RHEL only for customer convenience. These features are disabled by default but can be enabled on demand via the rh_waived kernel boot parameter. To allow a set of waived features, append rh_waived=<feature name>,...,<feature name> to the kernel cmdline. Appending only rh_waived (with no arguments) will enable all waived features listed below.

The waived features listed in the next session follow the pattern below:
