To avoid the following failure when trying to load the rdma_rxe module while IPv6 is disabled, add a check for EAFNOSUPPORT to ignore the failure, also delete the needless debug print from rxe_setup_udp_tunnel(). $ modprobe rdma_rxe modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'rdma_rxe': Operation not permitted Fixes: dfdd6158ca2c ("IB/rxe: Fix kernel panic in udp_setup_tunnel") Signed-off-by: Kamal Heib <kamalheib1@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_net.c | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_net.c b/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_net.c index 01662727dca0..6cb4446a0bdb 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_net.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/sw/rxe/rxe_net.c @@ -207,10 +207,8 @@ static struct socket *rxe_setup_udp_tunnel(struct net *net, __be16 port, /* Create UDP socket */ err = udp_sock_create(net, &udp_cfg, &sock); - if (err < 0) { - pr_err("failed to create udp socket. err = %d\n", err); + if (err < 0) return ERR_PTR(err); - } tnl_cfg.encap_type = 1; tnl_cfg.encap_rcv = rxe_udp_encap_recv; @@ -619,6 +617,12 @@ static int rxe_net_ipv6_init(void) recv_sockets.sk6 = rxe_setup_udp_tunnel(&init_net, htons(ROCE_V2_UDP_DPORT), true); + if (PTR_ERR(recv_sockets.sk6) == -EAFNOSUPPORT) { + recv_sockets.sk6 = NULL; + pr_warn("IPv6 is not supported can not create UDP socket\n"); + return 0; + } + if (IS_ERR(recv_sockets.sk6)) { recv_sockets.sk6 = NULL; pr_err("Failed to create IPv6 UDP tunnel\n"); -- 2.26.3
