Without this modification and if CRYPTO is not selected, we have this warning: WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256 Depends on [n]: CRYPTO [=n] Selected by [y]: - MPTCP [=y] && NET [=y] && INET [=y] MPTCP selects CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256 which seems to depend on CRYPTO. CRYPTO is now selected to avoid this issue. Even though the config system prints that warning, it looks like sha256.c is compiled and linked even without CONFIG_CRYPTO. Since MPTCP will end up needing CONFIG_CRYPTO anyway in future commits -- currently in preparation for net-next -- we propose to add it now to fix the warning. The dependency in the config system comes from the fact that CRYPTO_LIB_SHA256 is defined in "lib/crypto/Kconfig" which is sourced from "crypto/Kconfig" only if CRYPTO is selected. Fixes: 65492c5a6ab5 (mptcp: move from sha1 (v0) to sha256 (v1)) Signed-off-by: Matthieu Baerts <matthieu.baerts@tessares.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
