Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 3/7] netconsole: reject enabling a target with no remote IP address
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 20:28:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814-netcons_ipv6-v3-3-bc0915e8c75f@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260814-netcons_ipv6-v3-0-bc0915e8c75f@gmail.com>

The command-line path already requires a remote address, but if a user
creates a dynamic target and enables it without setting a remote
address, we currently try sending netconsole traffic to "0.0.0.0".

Refuse to enable a target if the remote address is unset.
