Subject: [RFC: 2.6 patch] allow disabling DNOTIFY without EMBEDDED
Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2007 22:21:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070701202122.GJ10869@stusta.de> (raw)
This patch allows disabling DNOTIFY with CIONFIG_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.

Dnotify is a directory-based per-fd file change notification system
that uses signals to communicate events to user-space. There exist
superior alternatives, but some applications may still rely on
dnotify.
