Subject: [PATCH 05/11 net-next v4] ipv6: prepare headers for ipv6_stub removal
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 19:55:57 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260320185649.5411-6-fmancera@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260320185649.5411-1-fmancera@suse.de>
In preparation for dropping ipv6_stub and converting its users to direct
function calls, introduce static inline dummy functions and fallback
macros in the IPv6 networking headers. In addition, introduce checks on
fib6_nh_init(), ip6_dst_lookup_flow() and ip6_fragment() to avoid a
crash due to ipv6.disable=1 set during booting. The other functions are
safe as they cannot be called with ipv6.disable=1 set.
These fallbacks ensure that when CONFIG_IPV6 is completely disabled,
there are no compiling or linking errors due to code paths not guarded
by preprocessor macro IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6).
In addition, export ndisc_send_na(), ip6_route_input() and
ip6_fragment().
