Hi all,
While looking into the IPv6 parsing TODO in cifsroot, I found that
kernel's ip= parameter from net/ipv4/ipconfig.c only supports IPv4 and
there is no IPv6 equivalent. On major distros (Fedora via dracut), IPv6
network stuff happens in initramfs.
If that's correct, AFAIK adding IPv6 parsing to cifsroot wouldn't be
testable.
Please correct me if missed something. If TODO is still considered
valid, I would be glad to finish it.
Thanks
