    Configure out file locking features · bfcd17a6
    Thomas Petazzoni authored
    This patch adds the CONFIG_FILE_LOCKING option which allows to remove
    support for advisory locks. With this patch enabled, the flock()
    system call, the F_GETLK, F_SETLK and F_SETLKW operations of fcntl()
    and NFS support are disabled. These features are not necessarly needed
    on embedded systems. It allows to save ~11 Kb of kernel code and data:
    
       text          data     bss     dec     hex filename
