Hi Greg,
Currently I am testing locally about new aufs entries under debugfs, and
I found a strange issue about configuration.
First, configure "normaly".
General setup
[ ] Configure standard kernel features (for small systems) --->
$ egrep -i '(sysfs|debug_fs)' .config
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED=y
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2=y
CONFIG_SYSFS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
# CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS is not set
Next, enable EMBEDED, and then disable SYSFS.
General setup
[*] Configure standard kernel features (for small systems) --->
File systems
Pseudo filesystems --->
[ ] sysfs file system support
$ egrep -i '(sysfs|debug_fs)' .config
# CONFIG_SYSFS is not set
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=y
SYSFS is disabled expectedly, but DEBUG_FS is still enabled,
while "depends on SYSFS" is specified for DEBUG_FS.
Is this expected behaviour?
In other words, can I assume "when DEBUG_FS is enabled, SYSFS must be
enabled too" safely?
