Currently, CONFIG_VHOST depends on CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. But vhost is
not necessarily for VM since it's a generic userspace and kernel
communication protocol. Such dependency may prevent archs without
virtualization support from using vhost.

To solve this, a dedicated vhost menu is created under drivers so
CONIFG_VHOST can be decoupled out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION.
FWIW, this now results in vhost not being build with defconfig kernels (in todays
linux-next).

Hi Christian:

Did you meet it even with this commit https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=a4be40cbcedba9b5b714f3c95182e8a45176e42d?
I simply used linux-next. The defconfig does NOT contain CONFIG_VHOST and therefore CONFIG_VHOST_NET and friends
can not be selected.

$ git checkout next-20200401
$ make defconfig
   HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/confdata.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/expr.o
   LEX     scripts/kconfig/lexer.lex.c
   YACC    scripts/kconfig/parser.tab.[ch]
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/lexer.lex.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/parser.tab.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/preprocess.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/symbol.o
   HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/util.o
   HOSTLD  scripts/kconfig/conf
*** Default configuration is based on 'x86_64_defconfig'
#
# configuration written to .config
#

$ grep VHOST .config
# CONFIG_VHOST is not set

If yes, what's your build config looks like?

Thanks
This was x86. Not sure if that did work before.
On s390 this is definitely a regression as the defconfig files
for s390 do select VHOST_NET

grep VHOST arch/s390/configs/*
arch/s390/configs/debug_defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_NET=m
arch/s390/configs/debug_defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK=m
arch/s390/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_NET=m
arch/s390/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK=m

and this worked with 5.6, but does not work with next. Just adding
CONFIG_VHOST=m to the defconfig solves the issue, something like


Right, I think we probably need

1) add CONFIG_VHOST=m to all defconfigs that enables CONFIG_VHOST_NET/VSOCK/SCSI.

or

2) don't use menuconfig for CONFIG_VHOST, let NET/SCSI/VDPA just select it.

Thanks
