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].

PCI: Add CONFIG_MMU dependency

2025-04-23T20:40:30+00:00

It turns out that there are no platforms that have PCI but don't have an MMU, so adding a Kconfig dependency on CONFIG_PCI simplifies build testing kernels for those platforms a lot, and avoids a lot of inadvertent build regressions. Add a dependency for CONFIG_PCI and remove all the ones for PCI specific device drivers that are currently marked not having it. There are a few platforms that have an optional MMU, but they usually cannot have PCI at all. The one exception is Coldfire MCF54xx, but this is mainly for historic reasons, and anyone using those chips should really use the MMU these days.

scsi: bnx2i: Requires MMU

2020-12-02T17:59:04+00:00

The SCSI_BNX2_ISCSI kconfig symbol selects CNIC and CNIC selects UIO, which depends on MMU. Since 'select' does not follow dependency chains, add the same MMU dependency to SCSI_BNX2_ISCSI.

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over '---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances. This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines, I also fixed the indentation. There are a variety of indentation styles found. a) 4 spaces + '---help---' b) 7 spaces + '---help---' c) 8 spaces + '---help---' d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---' e) 1 tab + '---help---' (correct indentation) f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---' g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---' In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the following commend: $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/' Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

bnx2i/bnx2fc : fix randconfig error in next-20140909

2014-09-15T21:45:18+00:00

Just like CNIC, tristate of these two modules is also dependent on IPV6. These need to be handled separately as they select CNIC, which can override tristate for CNIC from 'm' to 'y', which can cause build failures when ipv6 is compiled as a module even if CNIC's Kconfig will only 'm' or 'n' when ipv6 is compiled as a module.

bnx2i should depend on NET since it selects SCSI_ISCSI_ATTRS, which depends on NET. Also move the dependencies together.
