The boolean 'choice' is used to list exclusively selected config options. You must not add a dependency between choice members, because such a dependency would create an invisible entry. In the following test case, it is impossible to choose 'C'. [Test Case 1] choice prompt "Choose one, but how to choose C?" config A bool "A" config B bool "B" config C bool "C" depends on A endchoice Hence, Kconfig shows the following error message: Kconfig:1:error: recursive dependency detected! Kconfig:1: choice <choice> contains symbol C Kconfig:10: symbol C is part of choice A Kconfig:4: symbol A is part of choice <choice> For a resolution refer to Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst subsection "Kconfig recursive dependency limitations" However, Kconfig does not report anything for the following similar code: [Test Case 2] choice prompt "Choose one, but how to choose B?" config A bool "A" config B bool "B" depends on A config C bool "C" endchoice This is because menu_finalize() reparents the menu tree when an entry depends on the preceding one. With reparenting, the menu tree: choice |- A |- B \- C ... will be transformed into the following structure: choice |- A | \- B \- C Consequently, Kconfig considers only 'A' and 'C' as choice members. This behavior is awkward. The second test case should be an error too. This commit stops reparenting inside a choice. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org> |

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
