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].

dlm: drop SCTP Kconfig dependency

2025-04-30T14:26:34+00:00

DLM does not use any exported SCTP function. SCTP is registered
dynamically as protocol to the kernel and can be used over the right
protocol identifiers on the socket api. We drop the SCTP dependency as
DLM can also be used with TCP only.

fs: dlm: remove deprecated code parts

2023-03-06T21:49:07+00:00

This patch removes code parts which was declared deprecated by
commit 6b0afc0cc3e9 ("fs: dlm: don't use deprecated timeout features by
default"). This contains the following dlm functionality:

- start a cancel of a dlm request did not complete after certain timeout:
  The current way how dlm cancellation works and interfering with other
  dlm requests triggered by the user can end in an overlapping and
  returning in -EBUSY. The most user don't handle this case and are
  unaware that DLM can return such errno in such situation. Due the
  timeout the user are mostly unaware when this happens.
- start a netlink warning messages for user space if dlm requests did
  not complete after certain timeout:
  This feature was never being built in the only known dlm user space side.
  As we are to remove the timeout cancellation feature we can directly
  remove this feature as well.

There might be the possibility to bring the timeout cancellation feature
back. However the current way of handling the -EBUSY case which is only
a software limitation and not a hardware limitation should be changed.
We minimize the current code base in DLM cancellation feature to not have
to deal with those existing features while solving the DLM cancellation
feature in general.

UAPI define DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN is commented as deprecated and reserved
value. We should avoid at first to give it a new meaning but let
possible users still compile by keeping this define. In far future we
can give this flag a new meaning. The same for the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT lock
request flag.

fs/dlm: Remove "select SRCU"

2023-01-05T21:40:02+00:00

Now that the SRCU Kconfig option is unconditionally selected, there is
no longer any point in selecting it.  Therefore, remove the "select SRCU"
Kconfig statements.

fs: dlm: add deprecation Kconfig and warnings for timeouts

2022-08-01T14:31:32+00:00

This patch adds a CONFIG_DLM_DEPRECATED_API Kconfig option
that must be enabled to use two timeout-related features
that we intend to remove in kernel v6.2.  Warnings are
printed if either is enabled and used.  Neither has ever
been used as far as we know.

. The DLM_LSFL_TIMEWARN lockspace creation flag will be
  removed, along with the associated configfs entry for
  setting the timeout.  Setting the flag and configfs file
  would cause dlm to track how long locks were waiting
  for reply messages.  After a timeout, a kernel message
  would be logged, and a netlink message would be sent
  to userspace.  Recently, midcomms messages have been
  added that produce much better logging about actual
  problems with messages.  No use has ever been found
  for the netlink messages.

. The userspace libdlm API has allowed the DLM_LKF_TIMEOUT
  flag with a timeout value to be set in lock requests.
  The lock request would be cancelled after the timeout.

fs: dlm: make connection hash lockless

2020-08-27T20:59:09+00:00

There are some problems with the connections_lock. During my
experiements I saw sometimes circular dependencies with sock_lock.
The reason here might be code parts which runs nodeid2con() before
or after sock_lock is acquired.

Another issue are missing locks in for_conn() iteration. Maybe this
works fine because for_conn() is running in a context where
connection_hash cannot be manipulated by others anymore.

However this patch changes the connection_hash to be protected by
sleepable rcu. The hotpath function __find_con() is implemented
lockless as it is only a reader of connection_hash and this hopefully
fixes the circular locking dependencies. The iteration for_conn() will
still call some sleepable functionality, that's why we use sleepable rcu
in this case.

This patch removes the kmemcache functionality as I think I need to
make some free() functionality via call_rcu(). However allocation time
isn't here an issue. The dlm_allow_con will not be protected by a lock
anymore as I think it's enough to just set and flush workqueues
afterwards.
