This is a side effect of 5d6be6a5 ("scsi_netlink : Make SCSI_NETLINK dependent on NET instead of selecting NET"). Previously, SCSI_FC_ATTRS would select SCSI_NETLINK which would select CONFIG_NET. The above warnings are just a tip of the iceberg, the more serious issue is that ppc64_defconfig is lacking networking support. This is the downside of savedefconfig, because the 'select' implications can disappear over time. Looks like more defconfigs are affected by this: $ grep -rL CONFIG_NET= arch/*/configs/ | xargs grep -l CONFIG_SCSI_FC_ATTRS= arch/ia64/configs/generic_defconfig arch/ia64/configs/gensparse_defconfig arch/mips/configs/ip27_defconfig arch/mips/configs/malta_defconfig arch/mips/configs/rm200_defconfig arch/mips/configs/malta_kvm_guest_defconfig arch/mips/configs/gpr_defconfig arch/mips/configs/jazz_defconfig arch/mips/configs/mtx1_defconfig arch/mips/configs/malta_kvm_defconfig arch/mips/configs/loongson3_defconfig arch/parisc/configs/c8000_defconfig arch/powerpc/configs/pseries_defconfig arch/powerpc/configs/pseries_le_defconfig arch/powerpc/configs/ppc64e_defconfig arch/powerpc/configs/ppc64_defconfig arch/powerpc/configs/pmac32_defconfig arch/sh/configs/sh2007_defconfig arch/sh/configs/sdk7780_defconfig arch/sparc/configs/sparc64_defconfig Michal -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
