Hi, all.
Looks like module xfrm6_mode_transport should depend on ipv6 module. While running kernel with ipv6 compiled as a module, and not loaded, it's impossible to just "modprobe xfrm6_mode_transport", it complains about wrong address family which is not supported. After manual inserting ("modprobe ipv6"), subject module can be normally loaded. Same case with compiled-in kernel IPv6 support: subject module can be normally loaded.
So the question : what is the proper way to fix this? Normally depmod should take care of discovering exported and used symbols but modinfo shows that xfrm6_mode_transport doesn't have a dependency inside. I didn't find normal way (i.e. like macros MODULE_DEPEND or so) to mark a dependency manually in module sources.
Best regards Alexey Fomenko
