Fascinating. These all indirectly depend on NET, so there's no problem
at the moment. But it is a bit weird...
crypto/algif_hash.c: depends on CRYPTO_USER_API_HASH -> NET
crypto/algif_skcipher.c: depends on CRYPTO_USER_API_SKCIPHER -> NET
drivers/dma/iovlock.c: depends on NET_DMA -> NET
drivers/isdn/mISDN/socket.c: depends on MISDN -> ISDN -> NET
drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_queue_pair.c: depends on VMCI -> NET
Patch welcome.
Meanwhile, to avoid more bikeshedding I've put the patch I posted with
all acks in my fixes branch. One cycle through linux-next, then
straight to Linus.
Subject: Hoist memcpy_fromiovec into lib/
ERROR: "memcpy_fromiovec" [drivers/vhost/vhost_scsi.ko] undefined!
That function is only present with CONFIG_NET. Turns out that
crypto/algif_skcipher.c also uses that outside net, but it actually
needs sockets anyway.
socket.h already include uio.h, so no callers need updating.
