From 7e341fa1f8ed25385e2321d7e5a49ce6aea2d702 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Bunk Date: Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:27:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] allow disabling DNOTIFY without EMBEDDED 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.
