https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1189032 Bug ID: 1189032 Summary: config: re-modularize ext4 Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: jeffm@suse.com Reporter: jeffm@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- As part of Greg KH and Kay Siever's "boot faster" project, many config options were set to =y to avoid the module loading/linking overhead at boot time. As system defaults change over time, those choices need to be revisited. commit bad9377ef98ec626bb46a3d791f5295017978341 Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Date: Fri Apr 24 09:23:34 2009 -0700 - Update config files. change to CONFIG_EXT2_FS=y and CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y --- Set EXT2/EXT3 to be builtins. commit 2601b15ce15ba8438bec61c7276cd01dbd2f4dc1 Author: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Date: Sat Apr 16 00:31:11 2011 +0200 - Disable ext2, use ext4 instead as a driver - Update config files. -- Replaced the separate ext2 and ext3 drivers with the ext4 module. Since ext2/3 were built-in, ext4 was changed to be built-in. The default root file system for SLES and openSUSE has been btrfs for many years. There is little benefit in building ext4 into the kernel anymore. This report serves as an anchor for the following changes: CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y->m CONFIG_JBD2=y->m CONFIG_FS_MBCACHE=y->m CONFIG_FS_ENCRYPTION_ALGS=m->y CONFIG_CRC16=y->m It is likely that the crypto modules can be modularized too but that requires FS_ENCRYPTION be modular and that will be a separate report. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
