Re: [PATCH 2/3] net/mlx5e: make VXLAN support conditional

On Wed, May 4, 2016 at 3:31 PM, Arnd Bergmann [off-list ref] wrote:

VXLAN can be disabled at compile-time or it can be a loadable
module while mlx5 is built-in, which leads to a link error:

drivers/net/built-in.o: In function `mlx5e_create_netdev':
ntb_netdev.c:(.text+0x106de4): undefined reference to `vxlan_get_rx_port'

This avoids the link error and makes the vxlan code optional,
like the other ethernet drivers do as well.

I sent it originally on Feb 26 2016, but misread Saeed Mahameed's
reply as saying that he'd fix it up himself. The new version
should address the original comment.

Hi Arnd,

I didn't post a fix up since it is not needed anymore, see
b7aade15485a ('vxlan: break dependency with netdev drivers') in
net-next.

The new issue is introduced due to : "net/mlx5: Kconfig: Fix
MLX5_EN/VXLAN build issue" which was merged from net tree.

Dave shouldn't have merged it into net-next, I explicitly asked him
that in the cover letter.  Maybe he missed it.

I just checked and It is sufficient to only take the revert patch:
[PATCH 1/3] Revert "net/mlx5: Kconfig: Fix MLX5_EN/VXLAN build issue"
to net-next.

Can you please confirm that with only the revert patch, you don't see
the issue ?
