Message-ID: <20070814212712.GC18945@stusta.de> Date: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 23:27:12 +0200 From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@...nel.org> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [RFC: 2.6 patch] allow disabling DNOTIFY without EMBEDDED This patch allows disabling DNOTIFY with CONFIG_EMBEDDED=n. I'm currently running a kernel with dnotify disabled and I haven't run into any problem. Is there any popular application left that breaks without dnotify support in the kernel? Note that this patch does not remove dnotify support, it still defaults to "y", and the help text recommends enabling it.
