If this patch meets the merge guidelines for a bugfix, it should be merged into Linus's tree before the next major kernel release. If not, it will be merged into Linus's tree during the next merge window. Either way, you will probably be copied on the patch when it gets sent to Linus for merging so that others can see what is happening in kernel development. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >>From randy.dunlap@oracle.com Wed Jul 21 13:04:45 2010 Message-ID: <4C462B93.2050403@oracle.com> Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:04:51 -0700 From: Randy Dunlap To: Greg KH Cc: Stephen Rothwell , linux-next@vger.kernel.org, LKML Subject: debugfs: no longer needs to depend on SYSFS From: Randy Dunlap debugfs no longer uses 'kernel_subsys' (which is gone), and other kernel/ksysfs.c code is always built, so DEBUG_FS does not need to depend on SYSFS.
