Hi Ryan,
I've marked your patch as Rejected in patchwork. We don't want to add automatic
kernel config fiddling unless really needed for either building (e.g.
xtables-addons builds a kernel module that requires specific functions) or for
booting (e.g. systemd, ARM ABI).
In addition, in this particular case, it's possible that someone enables
nfs-utils just to be able to run rpc.statd in a nfs client that requires locking.
So instead, we think it's better to update the nfs-utils help test to mention
the Kconfig options that have to be enabled to have an NFS server.
Sorry that it had to come to a v3 and several months later before coming to
such a conclusion.
Regards,
Arnout
