The patch titled allow disabling DNOTIFY without EMBEDDED has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is allow-disabling-dnotify-without-embedded.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: allow disabling DNOTIFY without EMBEDDED From: Adrian Bunk <bunk@xxxxxxxxxx> Allow 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.
