I looked at this yesterday and got distracted diving into the generated
file to see the difference:
#define CONFIG_IPV6 1
vs
#define CONFIG_IPV6_MODULE 1
Digging up ancient history. ;)
Interesting.
drivers/net/ethernet/netronome/nfp/flower/action.c:#ifdef CONFIG_IPV6
Oops.
Notify the maintainer!
Yeah, this is super scary stuff - allmodyes-like configs are quite
common in generic distros, and I assume similar mistakes could have
happened in many other places in the kernel as well.
I wonder if the "ifdef CONFIG_…" pattern should be discouraged, and
"IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_…)" used instead, at least for all tristate config
options.
