Re: [Bug 1475078] Re: VirtIO (and probably other modules as well) is built-in, make it modular...
Interesting... On Debian SID this is also not a module:
---
thiago@debian-sid-1:~$ grep CONFIG_UNIX /boot/config-4.5.0-2-amd64
...
CONFIG_UNIX=y
....

Bug description:
Guys,
Can Canonical ship Ubuntu with its Linux in a modular way?
Honestly, don't understand why some modules are compiled as built-in,
instead of modules, for example (NET/BLK/PCI/etc):
---
ubuntu@vivid-1:~$ grep VIRTIO /boot/config-3.19.0-23-generic
CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=y
CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=y
CONFIG_CAIF_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=y
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO=y
CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO_CMDLINE_DEVICES=y
---
While on Debian, it is all modular, as expected:
---
debian@jessie-1:~# grep VIRTIO /boot/config-3.16.0-4-amd64
CONFIG_NET_9P_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BLK=m
CONFIG_SCSI_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_NET=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_CONSOLE=m
CONFIG_HW_RANDOM_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_PCI=m
CONFIG_VIRTIO_BALLOON=m
# CONFIG_VIRTIO_MMIO is not set
---
I see no reason to load this modules in a non-virtualized
environments.
Thoughts!?
Best,
Thiago
