Subject: [PATCH 3.12 33/86] char: lack of bool string made CONFIG_DEVPORT always on
Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 11:03:58 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1b991103f0a363e22001fd479fa90d27cf6c9381.1493888632.git.jslaby@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <13a6a971c9165237531c2870da03084a6becc905.1493888632.git.jslaby@suse.cz>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1493888632.git.jslaby@suse.cz>
From: Max Bires <jbires@google.com>
3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
===============
commit f2cfa58b136e4b06a9b9db7af5ef62fbb5992f62 upstream.
Without a bool string present, using "# CONFIG_DEVPORT is not set" in
defconfig files would not actually unset devport. This esnured that
/dev/port was always on, but there are reasons a user may wish to
disable it (smaller kernel, attack surface reduction) if it's not being
used. Adding a message here in order to make this user visible.
