[S390] System z large page support.

2008-04-30T11:38:47+00:00

This adds hugetlbfs support on System z, using both hardware large page
support if available and software large page emulation on older hardware.
Shared (large) page tables are implemented in software emulation mode,
by using page->index of the first tail page from a compound large page
to store page table information.

NFSD: Remove NFSv4 dependency on NFSv3

2008-04-23T20:13:41+00:00

Clean up: Because NFSD_V4 "depends on" NFSD_V3, it appears as a child of
the NFSD_V3 menu entry, and is not visible if NFSD_V3 is unselected.

Replace the dependency on NFSD_V3 with a "select NFSD_V3".  This makes
NFSD_V4 look and work just like NFS_V3, while ensuring that NFSD_V3 is
enabled if NFSD_V4 is.

Sam Ravnborg adds:

"This use of select is questionable. In general it is bad to select
a symbol with dependencies.

In this case the dependencies of NFSD_V3 are duplicated for NFSD_V4
so we will not se erratic configurations but do you remember to
update NFSD_V4 when you add a depends on NFSD_V3?

But I see no other clean way to do it right now."

Later he said:

"My comment was more to say we have things to address in kconfig.
This is abuse in the acceptable range."

SUNRPC: Remove PROC_FS dependency

2008-04-23T20:13:41+00:00

Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to
ensure that PROC_FS was enabled if SUNRPC_GSS was enabled.

Apparently this isn't necessary because the auth_gss components under
net/sunrpc will build correctly even if PROC_FS is disabled, though
RPCSEC_GSS will not work without /proc.

It also violates the guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt
that states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts
anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies."

To address these issues, remove the dependency.

NFSD: Use "depends on" for PROC_FS dependency

2008-04-23T20:13:41+00:00

Recently, commit 440bcc59 added a reverse dependency to fs/Kconfig to
ensure that PROC_FS was enabled if NFSD_V4 was enabled.

There is a guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt that
states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts
anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies."

A quick grep around other Kconfig files reveals that no entry currently
uses "select PROC_FS" -- every one uses "depends on".  Thus CONFIG_NFSD_V4
should use "depends on PROC_FS" as well.

NFSD: Remove redundant "select" clauses in fs/Kconfig

2008-04-23T20:13:38+00:00

As far as I can tell, selecting the CRYPTO and CRYPTO_MD5 entries under
CONFIG_NFSD is redundant, since CONFIG_NFSD_V4 already selects
RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5, which selects these entries.

Testing with "make menuconfig" shows that the entries under CRYPTO still
properly reflect "Y" or "M" based on the setting of CONFIG_NFSD after this
change is applied.

NFSD: Move "select NFSD_V2_ACL if NFSD_V3_ACL"

2008-04-23T20:13:38+00:00

Clean up: since NFSD_V2_ACL is a boolean, it can be selected safely
under the NFSD_V3_ACL entry (also a boolean).
