how to handle Kconfig ?
hi list,
i was playing with 'make randconfig' and found that some issues are rooted in the kconfig selection.
e.g.:
you can select X86_NUMAQ without SMP what makes no sence since NUMAQ depends on SMP. (adding 'depends on SMP' helps).
Should that be fixed ? does anyone care ?
re,

This was already fixed in Linus' tree two months ago with commit 905c399594f85322a4e513a4b0365b70d6de9fd0 .

https://lists.osdl.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel-janitorsthat is nice to read but does not answer my question:
1. Should every not working combination by fixed ?
2. Is this a problem for the Janitor ML or the LKML ?

1. at least on i386, every combination should be fixed
only if extraordinary pathological and nonsensical cases are hard to fix there might be exceptions
2. I'd send them to lkml since they are bug fixes
