[ Upstream commit 31557b3487b349464daf42bc4366153743c1e727 ] A decade ago commit6d08acd2d3("in6: fix conflict with glibc") hid the definitions of IPV6 options, because GCC was complaining about duplicates. The commit did not list the warnings seen, but trying to recreate them now I think they are (building iproute2): In file included from ./include/uapi/rdma/rdma_user_cm.h:39, from rdma.h:16, from res.h:9, from res-ctx.c:7: ../include/uapi/linux/in6.h:171:9: warning: ‘IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP’ redefined 171 | #define IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP 20 | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In file included from /usr/include/netinet/in.h:37, from rdma.h:13: /usr/include/bits/in.h:233:10: note: this is the location of the previous definition 233 | # define IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP IPV6_JOIN_GROUP | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ../include/uapi/linux/in6.h:172:9: warning: ‘IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP’ redefined 172 | #define IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP 21 | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /usr/include/bits/in.h:234:10: note: this is the location of the previous definition 234 | # define IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP IPV6_LEAVE_GROUP | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Compilers don't complain about redefinition if the defines are identical, but here we have the kernel using the literal value, and glibc using an indirection (defining to a name of another define, with the same numerical value). Problem is, the commit in question hid all the IPV6 socket options, and glibc has a pretty sparse list. For instance it lacks Flow Label related options. Willem called this out in commit3fb321fde2("selftests/net: ipv6 flowlabel"): /* uapi/glibc weirdness may leave this undefined */ #ifndef IPV6_FLOWINFO #define IPV6_FLOWINFO 11 #endif More interestingly some applications (socat) use a #ifdef IPV6_FLOWINFO to gate compilation of thier rudimentary flow label support. (For added confusion socat misspells it as IPV4_FLOWINFO in some places.) Hide only the two defines we know glibc has a problem with. If we discover more warnings we can hide more but we should avoid covering the entire block of defines for "IPV6 socket options".

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
