allow disabling DNOTIFY without EMBEDDED
RFC PATCH 1/1 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.
