Subject: [RFC: 2.6 patch] let MAGIC_SYSRQ no longer depend on DEBUG_KERNEL
Date: Tue, 22 Nov 2005 19:57:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051122185705.GA3963@stusta.de> (raw)
I know several people using MAGIC_SYSRQ not for kernel debugging but for
trying to do a halfway normal shutdown in case of problems.
Since there's no technical reason why MAGIC_SYSRQ would have to depend
on DEBUG_KERNEL, I'm therefore suggesting to drop this dependency.
