The patch titled
Remove valueless definition of hard-selected RAMFS option
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
remove-valueless-definition-of-hard-selected-ramfs-option.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Remove valueless definition of hard-selected RAMFS option
From: "Robert P. J. Day" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Since CONFIG_RAMFS is currently hard-selected to "y", and since
Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt reads as follows:
"The amount of code required to implement ramfs is tiny, because all the
work is done by the existing Linux caching infrastructure. Basically,
you're mounting the disk cache as a filesystem. Because of this, ramfs is
not an optional component removable via menuconfig, since there would be
negligible space savings."
It seems pointless to leave this as a Kconfig entry.

- Ramfs is a file system which keeps all files in RAM. It allows
- read and write access.
-
- It is more of an programming example than a useable file system. If
- you need a file system which lives in RAM with limit checking use
- tmpfs.

- To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be called
- ramfs.
