[PATCH v3 13/22] netpoll: Introduce netpoll_target configs

From: Mike Waychison
Date: Tue Dec 14 2010 - 16:31:15 EST


As preparation for moving netpoll_targets out of netconsole and making
them available to other clients, introduce new Kconfig options.

CONFIG_NETPOLL_TARGETS

Access to targets APIs. Only supports parameter based parsing of
targets (via the kernel command line or module paramters).

CONFIG_NETPOLL_TARGETS_DYNAMIC

Extends the support that netpoll_targets provides by allowing for the
dynamic creation of targets in configfs on a per client basis. This is
boolean flag used to enable dynamic support. Specifying it without
also selecting NETPOLL_TARGETS is meaningless.

Changelog:
- v3
- Fixed to support building netpoll_targets as a module. It depends
on netpoll, but netpoll itself doesn't depend on it.
netpoll_targets will be built as a module if it is needed by either
NETCONSOLE or NETOOPS are enabled as modules (and neither are built
in). CONFIGFS_FS is also only selected to be a module if that is
possible.
