The patch titled Subject: mm: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is mm-remove-redundant-default-n-from-kconfig-s.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/mm-remove-redundant-default-n-from-kconfig-s.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/mm-remove-redundant-default-n-from-kconfig-s.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <b.zolnierkie@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: mm: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s 'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig setting so there is no need to write it explicitly. Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same regardless of 'default n' being present or not: ... One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making the following two definitions behave exactly the same: config FOO bool config FOO bool default n With this change, neither of these will generate a '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied). That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is redundant. ...
