Please don't select NET, it's way too broad.
Then you'll make select implied dependencies work in Kbuild so we don't
need to do anything at all about this?
Roman said that CONFIG_NET is too broad to select,
and I agree with him. Select is meant to be used to enable one
library-like kernel feature/function, not all of "Networking".
But yes, there do seem to be some depends/selects interaction
whose handling is missing.
This is iSCSI ... how can it possibly be useful without NET? Why
doesn't CONFIG_ISCSI depend on NET, making this whole problem moot (for
now).
There is no CONFIG_ISCSI symbol AFAIK. I see:
CONFIG_SCSI_ISCSI_ATTRS
CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP
CONFIG_SCSI_QLA_ISCSI
If CONFIG_NET=n, CONFIG_SCSI_QLA_ISCSI can still be enabled
by a user and it will "select" CONFIG_SCSI_ISCSI_ATTRS.
SCSI_ISCSI_ATTRS depends on SCSI && NET, so there should be
some (either) depends or selects action going on there. I think
we agree on that part at least.
