Summary

Remove jdk.net.ExtendedSocketOptions.SO_FLOW_SLA, SocketFlow and SocketFlow.Status. The Solaris and JDK-specific SO_FLOW_SLA socket option was terminally deprecated in JDK 14 (JDK-8235194) in preparation for the removal of the Solaris port. JEP 381 has already removed the implementation from JDK 15. The API elements (socket option and supporting classes) can now be removed.

Problem

The specification for ExtendedSocketOptions.SO_FLOW_SLA will need to be removed along with the option itself.

The class level API documentation of NetworkPermission describes the permission targets required to get and set the ExtendedSocketOptions.SO_FLOW_SLA option. The description also currently marks these permission targets as being deprecated. The description of the permission targets will need to be removed from the class level API documentation of NetworkPermission.

Solution

Remove all related specification for ExtendedSocketOptions.SO_FLOW_SLA.
