CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS: Userspace-driven configuration filesystem

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS has multiple definitions:

Userspace-driven configuration filesystem found in fs/configfs/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS:

• prompt: Userspace-driven configuration filesystem
• type: tristate
• depends on: (none)
• defined in fs/configfs/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.29–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12
• modules built: configfs, configfs

Help text

configfs is a RAM-based filesystem that provides the converse of sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based view of kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager of kernel objects, or config_items.

Both sysfs and configfs can and should exist together on the same system. One is not a replacement for the other.

Userspace-driven configuration filesystem found in fs/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS:

• prompt: Userspace-driven configuration filesystem
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_SYSFS
• defined in fs/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.25–2.6.28
• modules built: configfs, configfs

Userspace-driven configuration filesystem (EXPERIMENTAL) found in fs/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS:

• prompt: Userspace-driven configuration filesystem (EXPERIMENTAL)
• type: tristate
• depends on: CONFIG_SYSFS && CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
• defined in fs/Kconfig
