Hi Geert, Thank you for the patch! On 20/10/2020 09:38, Geert Uytterhoeven wrote: > MPTCP_IPV6 selects IPV6, thus enabling an optional feature the user may > not want to enable.

Here again, the intension was to select IPv6 from MPTCP but I understand the issue: if we enable MPTCP, we will select IPV6 as well by default. Maybe not what we want on some embedded devices with very limited memory where IPV6 is already off. We should instead enable MPTCP_IPV6 only if IPV6=y. LGTM then!

My apologies, this fails for the CONFIG_IPV6=m and CONFIG_MPTCP=y case: + error: net/mptcp/protocol.o: undefined reference to `inet6_getname': => .rodata+0x19c) + error: net/mptcp/protocol.o: undefined reference to `inet6_ioctl': => .rodata+0x1a4) + error: net/mptcp/protocol.o: undefined reference to `inet6_recvmsg': => .rodata+0x1c4) + error: net/mptcp/protocol.o: undefined reference to `inet6_release': => .rodata+0x188) + error: net/mptcp/protocol.o: undefined reference to `inet6_sendmsg': => .rodata+0x1c0) + error: protocol.c: undefined reference to `inet6_destroy_sock': => .text+0x4994) + error: protocol.c: undefined reference to `inet6_register_protosw': => .init.text+0xc6) + error: protocol.c: undefined reference to `inet6_stream_ops': => .text+0x2bb0) + error: protocol.c: undefined reference to `tcpv6_prot': => .text+0x2ba8) + error: subflow.c: undefined reference to `tcp_request_sock_ipv6_ops': => .text+0x8e2) + error: undefined reference to `ipv6_specific': => (.init.text+0xea) + error: undefined reference to `tcp_request_sock_ipv6_ops': => (.init.text+0xc4) So those issues have to be fixed first Gr{oetje,eeting}s, Geert

It should then depends on IPV6=y. I thought it would be the case. Do you want me to send a patch or do you already have one? Cheers, Matt

MPTCP_IPV6 selects IPV6, thus enabling an optional feature the user may not want to enable. Fix this by making MPTCP_IPV6 depend on IPV6, like is done for all other IPv6 features.
