DLM? so GFS2 selects DLM, but selects > don't follow dependency chains. Also, the "select IP_SCTP if DLM_SCTP" > in GFS2 is meaningless since there is no DLM_SCTP. https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/3/8/222 seems to have caused this by adding the new dependency on the sctp module without any Kconfig changes. Should that patch have added depends IP_SCTP to the dlm and gfs2?
