Subject: [PATCH net v4 1/4] ipv6: move the disable_ipv6_mod knob to core code
Date: Sat, 07 Mar 2026 17:50:53 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260307-net-nd_tbl_fixes-v4-1-e2677e85628c@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260307-net-nd_tbl_fixes-v4-0-e2677e85628c@suse.com>
From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Make sure disable_ipv6_mod itself is not part of the IPv6 module,
in case core code wants to refer to it. We will remove support
for IPv6=m soon, this change helps make fixes we commit before
that less messy.
