| Series | [1/2] system: add default to BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE_SUPPORTS_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES | expand |
Petr, All, On 2019-07-22 07:16 +0200, Petr Vorel spake thusly: > Enable BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE_SUPPORTS_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES if none > of non-supported rootfs is selected. No, sorry. As I explained in another thread, there are valid cases where one does not need capabilities (and thus xattrs) on their systems. In that case, your change would mean that the defconfig files of those people now default to using xattrs, when they previously would not. > Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel <petr.vorel@gmail.com> > --- > Hi, > > not sure about cloop, cpio, tar, ubi. > > Kind regards, > Petr > > system/Config.in | 1 + > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/system/Config.in b/system/Config.in > index af7d8566d3..842e745cd3 100644 > --- a/system/Config.in > +++ b/system/Config.in > @@ -196,6 +196,7 @@ config BR2_ROOTFS_STATIC_DEVICE_TABLE > > config BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE_SUPPORTS_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES > bool "support extended attributes in device tables" > + default y if !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_AXFS && !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CRAMFS && !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660 && !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ROMFS && !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_YAFFS2 In any case, iff we were to add this, this should be done differently, because we do not want to hard-code the list of filesystems here.

OK, agree, thanks for an explanation. I've set it in patchwork as rejected (+ delegate to you). I'd still add the second patch (adding "(XATTR)" I find it just by chance, as I didn't search for "extended attributes", but for XATTR. > > Signed-off-by: Petr Vorel <petr.vorel@gmail.com> > > --- > > Hi, > > not sure about cloop, cpio, tar, ubi. > > Kind regards, > > Petr > > system/Config.in | 1 + > > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) > > diff --git a/system/Config.in b/system/Config.in > > index af7d8566d3..842e745cd3 100644 > > --- a/system/Config.in > > +++ b/system/Config.in > > @@ -196,6 +196,7 @@ config BR2_ROOTFS_STATIC_DEVICE_TABLE > > config BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE_SUPPORTS_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES > > bool "support extended attributes in device tables" > > + default y if !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_AXFS && !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CRAMFS && !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660 && !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ROMFS && !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_YAFFS2 > In any case, iff we were to add this, this should be done differently, > because we do not want to hard-code the list of filesystems here.
