The /sys/debug knob depends upon CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG, I assume? umm, yes, I do think that it would be prudent to make this control unconditionally available. Experience tells us that any regressions which this change causes could take a long time to turn up - sometimes years. By which time the people who are reporting the regressions are running packaged kernels, and if that packaged kernel didn't enable CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG, we're a bit screwed. Did we end up deciding to remove the CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES=n dependency? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
