I can't seem to reproduce the problem you are seeing. still trying..
I don't have CONFIG_LWTUNNEL set nor any of the other SEG6 configs.
My CONFIG_IPV6 is on and compiled as a module. I have also tried disabling it.
If you can send me the config, I can try again. Looking back at the patches,
I do see a few things below ..but they may not fix your problem directly.
Though I had none of the ipv6 segment routing configs turned on,
I do see the "Segment Routing with IPv6" msg at bootup.
Was looking at david's patches again, and a few things (I had missed seeing the
last version):
In my review comment I was hinting at CONFIG_IPV6_SEG6 to cover all of ipv6
segment routing,
including the lwtunnel bits.
something like below:
config IPV6_SEG6
bool "IPv6: Segment Routing Header encapsulation support"
depends on LWTUNNEL && IPV6
DavidL, do you see a problem doing it this way ?. with this 'seg6.o' will be
part of CONFIG_IPV6_SEG6 and not
get initialized unless it is enabled..which seems like the right thing to do.
DaveM had suggested compiling LWTUNNEL in by default. I can submit a patch for
that.
But it is not clear to me yet why the right depends will not fix it.
thanks.
