There is one default y and very strong suggestions in Kconfig. I bet 99+% of the users use that, which means CUBIC now since kernel version number XX.YY (I forgot) Also the "depends on kernel config option" argument seems a poor one. A lot of things can be disabled with uncommon CONFIG options, but the man pages still document the standard defaults used by near all people. > And it may change in future, so writing it into the manual page > seems being short sighted. That just means that users will never know. -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com
