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?
OK, it looks like the patch that adds the "depends on SYSCTL" to the
LOCKD entry will cause NFS-enabled builds to break if CONFIG_SYSCTL is
disabled, thanks to the recent addition of nlmclnt_init and nlmclnt_done.
Probably the better solution in this case is to ifdef out the
register_sysctl() call in lockd if CONFIG_SYSCTL isn't set. In the long
run, should we make it possible to build the NFS client without lockd?
