Message-Id: <1157031655.3384.810.camel@quoit.chygwyn.com> Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 14:40:55 +0100 From: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@...hat.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Russell Cattelan <cattelan@...hat.com>, David Teigland <teigland@...hat.com>, Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>, hch@...radead.org Subject: [PATCH 13/16] GFS2: Makefiles and Kconfig [PATCH 13/16] GFS2: Makefiles and Kconfig This hooks GFS2 into the kernel's build system. It also adds some documentation. Note that the dlm has been moved to be under fs/dlm as per Ingo Molnar's suggestion. This patch series doesn't include the dlm however. The DLM is already in both -mm and the git tree containing GFS2 at kernel.org.
