> I am scratching my head how do we audit @hpa1 's list? One thing you can audit is if the removed i2c/spi drivers have an acpi_match_table. Without that they are basically not usable on x86 anyways (barring some exceptions of course). Other then that we will just need to trust the authors/maintainers of these allow lists (me in this case). > I still think with this approach, we may end up missing some eccentric hardware not in wide use, but it would be easy enough to turn those back on once a bug is filed. Right, so I plan to mostly limit this shrinking the kernel exercise to subsystems which I know well, which should significantly reduce the risk of accidentally disabling something which is used somewhere else after all. And if I make a mistake, as you say fixing this is easy once it is reported. And I do really hope that this makes it easy enough to do this to also get other people to maintain allow-list for other driver sub-dirs. -- _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
