Subject: [PATCH] net: remove CONFIG_NETDEVICES requirement for SO_BINDTODEVICE and SO_BINDTOIFINDEX
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 15:45:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110204524.82341-1-ethanf108@gmail.com> (raw)

The SO_BINDTODEVICE and SO_BINDTOIFINDEX sockopts return -ENOPROTOOPT
if CONFIG_NETDEVICES is disabled, even if the lo interface exists. I
believe it would be prudent to allow for valid bindings even if
CONFIG_NETDEVICES were disabled, as an error here would be inconsistent.
