ipv6: convert CONFIG_IPV6 to built-in only and clean up Kconfigs

2026-03-29T18:21:22+00:00

Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore, drop it. Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR() and MODULE_LICENSE(). This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race condition on IPv6 addrconf. Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements and recommendations [1].

RDMA/uverbs: select CONFIG_DMA_SHARED_BUFFER

The addition of dmabuf support in uverbs means that it is no longer possible to build infiniband support if that is disabled: arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core_uverbs.o: in function `rdma_user_mmap_entry_remove.part.0': ib_core_uverbs.c:(.text+0x508): undefined reference to `dma_buf_move_notify' (dma_buf_move_notify): Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) in drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core_uverbs.o ib_core_uverbs.c:(.text+0x518): undefined reference to `dma_resv_wait_timeout' (dma_resv_wait_timeout): Unknown destination type (ARM/Thumb) in drivers/infiniband/core/ib_core_uverbs.o Select this from Kconfig, as we do for the other users.

RDMA/qib: Remove outdated driver

2025-06-17T17:05:53+00:00

The qib Infiniband device has long been decommissioned from distros and unsupported by the company. We have kept it going in a compile only mode for a while now and it's time to remove the driver. It has a number of issues that are never going to be addressed and is a hindrance to improving hfi1 and rdmavt.
