Commit Message

Jason Wang April 15, 2020, 2:43 a.m. UTC
We try to keep the defconfig untouched after decoupling CONFIG_VHOST
out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION in commit 20c384f1ea1a
("vhost: refine vhost and vringh kconfig") by enabling VHOST_MENU by
default. Then the defconfigs can keep enabling CONFIG_VHOST_NET
without the caring of CONFIG_VHOST.

But this will leave a "CONFIG_VHOST_MENU=y" in all defconfigs and even
for the ones that doesn't want vhost. So it actually shifts the
burdens to the maintainers of all other to add "CONFIG_VHOST_MENU is
not set". So this patch tries to enable CONFIG_VHOST explicitly in
defconfigs that enables CONFIG_VHOST_NET and CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK.

I rebased this on top of OABI fix since that
seems more orgent to fix.
Pushed to my vhost branch pls take a look and
if possible test.
Thanks!

I test this patch by generating the defconfigs that wants vhost_net or 
vhost_vsock. All looks fine.

But having CONFIG_VHOST_DPN=y may end up with the similar situation that 
this patch want to address.

Maybe we can let CONFIG_VHOST depends on !ARM || AEABI then add another 
menuconfig for VHOST_RING and do something similar?

Thanks

Sorry I don't understand. After this patch CONFIG_VHOST_DPN is just
an internal variable for the OABI fix. I kept it separate
so it's easy to revert for 5.8. Yes we could squash it into
VHOST directly but I don't see how that changes logic at all.

Sorry for being unclear.

I meant since it was enabled by default, "CONFIG_VHOST_DPN=y" will be 
left in the defconfigs. This requires the arch maintainers to add 
"CONFIG_VHOST_VDPN is not set". (Geert complains about this)

Thanks

But who cares? That does not add any code, does it?

The complaint was not about the symbol IIUC.  It was that we caused
everyone to build vhost unless they manually disabled it.

There could be some misunderstanding here. I thought it's somehow 
similar: a CONFIG_VHOST_MENU=y will be left in the defconfigs even if 
CONFIG_VHOST is not set.

Hmm. So looking at Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst :

        Things that merit "default y/m" include:

        a) A new Kconfig option for something that used to always be built
           should be "default y".


        b) A new gatekeeping Kconfig option that hides/shows other Kconfig
           options (but does not generate any code of its own), should be
           "default y" so people will see those other options.

        c) Sub-driver behavior or similar options for a driver that is
           "default n". This allows you to provide sane defaults.


So it looks like VHOST_MENU is actually matching rule b).
So what's the problem we are trying to solve with this patch, exactly?

Geert could you clarify pls?

BTW do entries with no prompt actually appear in defconfig?

Yes. I can see CONFIG_VHOST_DPN=y after make ARCH=m68k defconfig
