Maintaining a modular IPv6 stack offers image size savings for specific
setups, this benefit is outweighed by the architectural burden it
imposes on the subsystems on implementation and maintenance. Therefore,
drop it.
Change CONFIG_IPV6 from tristate to bool. Remove all Kconfig
dependencies across the tree that explicitly checked for IPV6=m. In
addition, remove MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), MODULE_ALIAS(), MODULE_AUTHOR()
and MODULE_LICENSE().
This is also replacing module_init() by device_initcall(). It is not
possible to use fs_initcall() as IPv4 does because that creates a race
condition on IPv6 addrconf.
Finally, modify the default configs from CONFIG_IPV6=m to CONFIG_IPV6=y
except for m68k as according to the bloat-o-meter the image is
increasing by 330KB~ and that isn't acceptable. Instead, disable IPv6 on
this architecture by default. This is aligned with m68k RAM requirements
and recommendations [1].

That's a Kconfig/defconfig only patch, so build system. You cannot test
it in a meaning of testing code. Building code is not testing.

You removed important parts of Ack. It was not provided like that.

I do not agree. This isn't a Kconfig/defconfig only patch. It is taking
down some module logic like changing module_init() to device_initcall().
Indeed, on v1, this patch was introducing a regression as it was using
fs_initcall().

Sorry about that. I will make sure to include the # arm64 on the next
revision.

Indeed, hiding among Kconfigs there is one C file. I missed that, it's fine.

As IPv6 is built-in only, it does not make sense to continue using
IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_IPV6). Therefore, replace it with IS_ENABLED() when
necessary and drop it if it isn't valid anymore.
Notice that there is still one instance related to ICMPv6, as it
requires more changes it will be handle separately.

As IPv6 is built-in only, there is no need to maintain the sender
registration infrastructure used to allow built-in subsystems to send
ICMPv6 messages when IPv6 was compiled as a module.
Drop the registration mechanism and the __icmpv6_send() sender
implementation. While icmpv6_send() users could be converted to
icmp6_send() that doesn't seems necessary as none of them are using the
force_saddr parameter.

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.
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().

I did it mainly for consistency. If you think this isn't fine, I can
move it back to &nd_tbl directly.
Thanks,
Fernando.

It creates a lot of unnecessary churn throughout the series, so I
wouldn't change code that is currently using '&nd_tbl'. I would also
change 'ipv6_stub->nd_tbl' to '&nd_tbl' if the code is guarded by
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6), which is most users.

Fair enough. I will adjust it. Anyway, for the code not guarded by
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) and that was using ipv6_stub the
ipv6_get_nd_tbl() is still necessary.
Thank you for the feedback!

As IPv6 is built-in only, the ipv6_stub infrastructure is no longer
necessary.
Convert all drivers currently utilizing ipv6_stub to make direct
function calls. The fallback functions introduced previously will
prevent linkage errors when CONFIG_IPV6 is disabled.

As IPv6 is built-in only, the ipv6_stub infrastructure is no longer
necessary.
The IPv4 stack interacts with IPv6 mainly to support IPv4 routes with
IPv6 next-hops (RFC 8950). Convert all these cross-family calls from
ipv6_stub to direct function calls. The fallback functions introduced
previously will prevent linkage errors when CONFIG_IPV6 is disabled.

As IPv6 is built-in only, the ipv6_stub infrastruture is no longer
necessary.
Convert remaining ipv6_stub users to make direct function calls. The
fallback functions introduced previously will prevent linkage errors
when CONFIG_IPV6 is disabled.

As IPv6 is built-in only, the ipv6_bpf_stub can be removed completely.
Convert all ipv6_bpf_stub usage to direct function calls instead. The
fallback functions introduced previously will prevent linkage errors

As IPv6 is built-in only and there are no more users of ipv6_stub, the
ipv6_stub is now entirely obsolte.
Remove all the code related to the definition, initialization and usage.

As IPv6 is built-in only, nf_ipv6_ops can be removed completely as it is
not longer necessary.
Convert all nf_ipv6_ops usage to direct function calls instead. In
addition, remove the ipv6_netfilter_init/fini() functions as they are
not necessary any longer.

We have quite a lot of these throughout the kernel, remove them?

Yes it should go away. It probably deserves its own patch. Thanks for
pointing it out!

Hi Fernando,
NIPA flags a few failures, still:

See stderr for stack trace. The BPF build issue seems to be:

Hi Jakub,
This is test is applying the series in top of bpf tree which has this
commit
https://github.com/kernel-patches/bpf/commit/972787479ee73006fddb5e59ab5c8e733810ff42
AFAICS, net-next tree do not have it yet. I do not think I can do much
about it for now. Will wait until they are merged and rebase in top of it.
Thanks,
Fernando.

I see, hopefully trees converge tomorrow, else we can fix it when
merging. But the RCU warnings in forwarding can't be a BPF problem,
right?

Looking closer and talking to Alexei the fix is actually in bpf-next
not in bpf. So let's just merge your code and we'll deal with the
fallout. But please still look into the fowarding warnings, of course.

Yes I already handled the forwarding warnings. I am surprised this
wasn't spotted by the AI :/
Thanks,
Fernando.
