Recently a reverse dependency was added to fs/Kconfig to ensure that
PROC_FS was enabled if NFSD_V4 was enabled.
There is a guideline in Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt that
states "In general use select only for non-visible symbols (no prompts
anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies."
A quick grep around other Kconfig files reveals that no entry currently
uses "select PROC_FS" -- every one uses "depends on". Thus CONFIG_NFSD_V4
should use "depends on PROC_FS" as well.
For SUNRPC_GSS, it's a little more complex. Other entries can "select"
SUNRPC_GSS, as it is non-visible. However, the guideline suggests an
entry can't "select" it if it has a dependency (such as PROC_FS).
Another problem is that if a tristate entry (SUNRPC_GSS) "depends on" a
boolean (PROC_FS) we can't set the tristate entry to M.
XXX: Both CONFIG_NFSV4 and CONFIG_NFSD_V4 select RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5, which is
visible, which kconfig-language.txt also frowns upon. The intent was to
enable at least one GSS mechanism if V4 was enabled. Perhaps we should
make SUNRPC_GSS visible, and make the NFSv4 options visible only if
SUNRPC_GSS is enabled.

[cel@manray nfs-2.6]$ make menuconfig
GEN /u/cel/obj/Makefile

fs/Kconfig:1751:error: found recursive dependency: NFSD_V4 ->

[cel@manray nfs-2.6]$
That may be because of the other issue I noticed: that NFSD_V4
selects RPCSEC_GSS_KRB5, which is a visible config entry.

Sigh. I see this is broken already.
It may be the case that "select ... if ..." is the only way to do this.
