Commit 3c07bfce92a5 ("proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS")
make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS.
When CONFIG_PROC_FS is not set and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y,
make menuconfig screams like this:
WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for PROC_CHILDREN
Depends on [n]: PROC_FS [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- CHECKPOINT_RESTORE [=y]
So add PROC_FS to dependencies to fix this.
Fixes: 3c07bfce92a5 ("proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS")

This patch here makes sense.
Just some minor addition:
The commit 3c07bfce92a5 ("proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on
PROC_FS") is not really broken, but just made the implicit
dependencies much more explicit and hence now this warning from
menuconfig indicates that.
Before the commit 3c07bfce92a5 ("proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN
depend on PROC_FS"):
When CONFIG_PROC_FS is not set and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y, then
the feature of CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE would just not worked (as
this would not be any proc fs, and no "proc children" functionality.)
After the commit 3c07bfce92a5 ("proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN depend
on PROC_FS"):
When CONFIG_PROC_FS is not set and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y, it
warns to add PROC_FS to assist in configuring something that makes the
feature of CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE work.
So this patch is yet another improvement to what the commit
3c07bfce92a5 ("proc: make config PROC_CHILDREN depend on PROC_FS")
already partially improved. However, feel free to keep the Fixes-tag
in this patch, as this patch certainly improves handling of what the
commit 3c07bfce92a5 started improving.

The recipient list is a bit "random" (coincidental). You could have
probably just sent this patch to Andrew Morton, me and linux-kernel
mailing list.

It could also be a depends (to resolve the warning).
It is just the question whether:
When PROC_FS is not set, should the CHECKPOINT_RESTORE still be
visible as a config option to add (and then automatically add
PROC_FS)? Then select is right here.
or:
When PROC_FS is not set, should the CHECKPOINT_RESTORE not be visible
as a config option to add? Instead the user first needs to add
PROC_FS, then CHECKPOINT_RESTORE becomes visible as an option to add,
and then the user can add it. Then depends would be right.
For me, both seem reasonable. So, I assume Ren considered select the
better choice.
But maybe Ren can confirm.
A kernel build configuration without PROC_FS is quite special
anyway... and then being interested in CHECKPOINT_ RESTORE for such a
system is really really special. I wonder if that user then really
knows what he or she is configuring at that point.

My consider is that if CHECKPOINT_RESTORE depends on PROC_FS , when
PROC_FS is not set the user have no chance to set it on.

then CHECKPOINT_RESTORE is the only option selecting PROC_FS while
everyone else depends on it _or_ avoids using it in the absence of
PROC_FS.

Right, we should not mix 'select' and 'depends on' for the same
symbol, as that leads to circular dependencies and general
confusion.
If there is no way to use CHECKPOINT_RESTORE without procfs,
then the symbol should just not be visible (it will still show
up with the dependency when one searches in menuconfig).
Force-enabling a major subsystem like procfs from another
symbol is not a good solution.

Agree. I retract my Reviewed-by.
The arguments are clear to make this depend on PROC_FS.
