in [Kernel]

Prev: async: use workqueue for worker pool
Next: [PATCH] KEYS: Use the variable 'key' in keyctl_describe_key()
From: Dmitry Torokhov on 28 Jun 2010 19:10 VMware Tools installer requires the upstream driver to be compiled as a module in order to detect its presence and avoid installing our own version on top of it. To avoid surprises with 2 versions of the driver being installed and fighting with each other, let's force the driver to be compiled as a module unless user selects CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
