[PATCH 03/16 net-next v3] net: inet: relocate ip_generic_getfrag and guard IPv4 socket logic

From: Fernando Fernandez Mancera

Date: Wed Sep 30 2026 - 11:05:37 EST


To enable compiling the INET subsystem without IPv4, shared generic
utilities must be relocated and IPv4 socket logic must be guarded for
CONFIG_IPV4.

This patch moves the generic ip_generec_getfrag() from ip_output.c to
af_inet.c. It also introduces CONFIG_IPV4 guards around af_inet.c to
reject IPv4-specific ioctls, protocol registrations and bind requests.
The same guard is added to reject IPv4-mapped IPv6.
