    NFS: Start PF_INET6 callback listener only if IPv6 support is available · f738f517
    Chuck Lever authored
    Apparently a lot of people need to disable IPv6 completely on their
    distributor-built systems, which have CONFIG_IPV6_MODULE enabled at
    build time.
    
    They do this by blacklisting the ipv6.ko module.  This causes the
    creation of the NFSv4 callback service listener to fail if
    CONFIG_IPV6_MODULE is set, but the module cannot be loaded.
    
    Now that the kernel's PF_INET6 RPC listeners are completely separate
    from PF_INET listeners, we can always start PF_INET.  Then the NFS
    client can try to start a PF_INET6 listener, but it isn't required
    to be available.
