I'm willing to reconsider it.
So basically we'd have a CONFIG_NET_XFRM, and things like AH/ESP/IPCOMP/AH6/ESP6/IPCOMP6 would say "select NET_XFRM" in the Kconfig where they are selected.
Then when CONFIG_NET_XFRM is not set all the xfrm interfaces called from non-ipsec non-xfrm source files get NOP versions.
Is this exactly what Andi's patch did? Just send it on so we can integrate this.
We actually lost a lot of code in other areas of the networking, for example Andrew Morton and I made many bogus function inlines undone because they made the code too large. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
