Commit Message

With NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TEE=y and IP6_NF_IPTABLES=m, we get a link
error when referencing the NF_DUP_IPV6 module:

net/netfilter/xt_TEE.o: In function `tee_tg6':
xt_TEE.c:(.text+0x14): undefined reference to `nf_dup_ipv6'

The problem here is the 'select NF_DUP_IPV6 if IP6_NF_IPTABLES'
that forces NF_DUP_IPV6 to be =m as well rather than setting it
to =y as was intended here. Adding a soft dependency on
IP6_NF_IPTABLES avoids that broken configuration.

Fixes: 35bf1ccecaaa ("netfilter: Kconfig: Change IPv6 select dependencies")

Applied to nf.git, thanks Arnd.

Sorry, let me reconsider.

We many need similar patches to other spots in 35bf1ccecaaa ?

If so, it would be good to fix in the one go.

Thanks!

Unfortunately I came across a related build error that my patch failed
to address. I've sent another patch for that one. Feel free to fold it
into my first patch in case you rebased before you forward the patches
to net-next.
