Rawhide Kconfig changes late in the -rc cycle
Hi Fedora Kernel People,
The SELinux folks recently stumbled across some test failures due to a
change in the Rawhide kernel config that happened this week while we
are at -rc7 (see lore archive link below). Now, to be clear, I think
the Kconfig change is good, TIOCSTI is generally pretty scary, but in
my opinion changing the kernel config at the -rc7 stage is also a bit
scary :) I don't know all the background on the Rawhide change, or if
there is a policy for Rawhide Kconfig changes, but if it is possible I
would suggest the in the future it might be advisable to restrict
Kconfig changes past -rc5 (give or take) to only those which are
critical changes.
Test/CI failures this late in the kernel -rc cycle are always a little
worrisome and it would be nice to know that we're not intentionally
making it worse ;)
