+config QUOTA_NETLINK_INTERFACE + bool "Report quota messages through netlink interface" + depends on QUOTA + select NET + help + If you say Y here, quota warnings (about exceeding softlimit, reaching + hardlimit, etc.) will be reported through netlink interface. If unsure, + say Y. Using "select" is either evil or OK, but only OK for "library-type" code. It should never be used to pull in a complete subsystem like NET does (even though SCSI_NETLINK does this same thing, sadly). --- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
