2011-03-05ipx: remove the BKLArnd Bergmann
This replaces all instances of lock_kernel in the IPX code with lock_sock. As far as I can tell, this is safe to do, because there is no global state that needs to be locked in IPX, and the code does not recursively take the lock or sleep indefinitely while holding it. Compile-tested only. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Acked-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@ghostprotocols.net> Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org
2010-10-21BKL: introduce CONFIG_BKL.Arnd Bergmann
With all the patches we have queued in the BKL removal tree, only a few dozen modules are left that actually rely on the BKL, and even there are lots of low-hanging fruit. We need to decide what to do about them, this patch illustrates one of the options: Every user of the BKL is marked as 'depends on BKL' in Kconfig, and the CONFIG_BKL becomes a user-visible option. If it gets disabled, no BKL using module can be built any more and the BKL code itself is compiled out. The one exception is file locking, which is practically always enabled and does a 'select BKL' instead. This effectively forces CONFIG_BKL to be enabled until we have solved the fs/lockd mess and can apply the patch that removes the BKL from fs/locks.c. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2007-02-28[IPX]: Remove outdated information from KconfigRolf Eike Beer
SPX was removed in early 2.5. How to connect to a Mac or the other OS isn't hard to find out these days. Signed-off-by: Rolf Eike Beer <eike-kernel@sf-tec.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-07-11[NET]: move config options out to individual protocolsSam Ravnborg
Move the protocol specific config options out to the specific protocols. With this change net/Kconfig now starts to become readable and serve as a good basis for further re-structuring. The menu structure is left almost intact, except that indention is fixed in most cases. Most visible are the INET changes where several "depends on INET" are replaced with a single ifdef INET / endif pair. Several new files were created to accomplish this change - they are small but serve the purpose that config options are now distributed out where they belongs.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
