You assume wrongly. Patch NAKed...
Do you have a use case in mind? (Just curious.)
Embedded systems often compile without sysctl and/or procfs support. Why
shouldn't they be able to run an NFS client with RPCSEC_GSS?
The other argument is that there is _nothing_ in the actual auth_gss
code that depends on procfs. The "dependency" (if there is one) is
between net/sunrpc/cache.c and procfs, and in fact, both sunrpc and the
auth_gss modules will compile just fine without procfs.
In that case, do we really even need a PROC_FS dependency (forward or
reverse) for the RPCSEC entries?
It would be simple to split this patch into an NFSD_V4 part and an
RPCSEC part, and just drop the RPCSEC part.
