No, that's a separate issue. memcpy_fromiovec() has nothing to do with networking: that was just the first user. Note that crypto/algif_skcipher.c also uses it. The obvious answer is to move it into lib/. OTOH making vhost_scsi depend on CONFIG_NET is breathtakingly lazy. I expect better from experienced kernel hackers :( Rusty. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-next" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
