So this patch change the Kconfig as ipv4 does.

If IP6_NF_IPTABLES is not set, why would we have to pick
up IPV6 defragmentation?

Without ip6tables, TPROXY cannot be used for ipv6; in fact;
xt_TPROXY should be built without ipv6 support in this case.

My guess is that you have TPROXY=y but DEFRAG_IPV6=m, but that
might warrant a better fix (xt_socket seems to have same issue).
Hi Florian,

Yes, It was exactly what I did. Actually there is a macro to
determine whether we compile nf_defrag_ipv6_enable or not,
called XT_TPROXY_HAVE_IPV6, which will be set to 1 while
IP6_NF_IPTABLES=y or m. With the patch below we can
make the compiling pass. But I am not sure it is good enough
or not.

This means you need to set IP6_NF_IPTABLES=y, else TPROXY doesn't work
with ipv6. I suggest to try and get Kconfig to force the needed
dependency (DEFRAG=y if TPROXY=y && DEFRAG=m if TPROXY=m).

Maybe this is enough (untested)

It works for me. With it DEFRAG, TPROXY and IP6_NF_IPTABLES are always compiled as
the same type. A better way to solve such dependency problem.

Since I only report this, and you solve it. So could you give a formal patch for this. I am a
beginner of linux network system and very glad to do the test for you.
