Subject: Possible bug in SCSI Kconfig
Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 18:29:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <b637ec0b0810220929r2c889423ma92bef0ec7f9b3b0@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi.
In kernel 2.6.27.2 - drivers/scsi/Kconfig we have:

config SCSI_WAIT_SCAN
        tristate
        default m
        depends on SCSI
        depends on MODULES

The tristate field is empty. This has the effect that this option is
not visible in menuconfig and so it's always selected. The default is
"m" for all architectures and so this module is always compiled if
SCSI and MODULES are both enabled.

I'm using a patch like this one:

 config SCSI_WAIT_SCAN
-	tristate
+	tristate "Wait until all the async scans are complete"
 	default m
 	depends on SCSI
 	depends on MODULES

to get rid of that module.

Of course, I have no idea if this is correct or the current behavior
is the expected one.

Regards,
Fabio
