OK the nlattr construction code really wants to depend on NET because they're skb-oriented. We could either move them back or just wrap them in ifdef CONFIG_NET. I think the latter is probably the simplest. How does this patch look? And Randy, does it fix the problem for you? nlattr: Fix build error with NET off We moved the netlink attribute support from net to lib in order for it to be available for general consumption. However, parts of the code (the bits that we don't need :) really depends on NET because the target object is sk_buff. This patch fixes this by wrapping them in CONFIG_NET. Some EXPORTs have been moved to make this work.
