Hello,
While playing around with systemd and our automotive setup we found that
systemd checks some kernel features at startup (from systemd 33).
static const char * const kmod_table[] = {
"autofs4", "/sys/class/misc/autofs",
"ipv6", "/sys/module/ipv6",
"unix", "/proc/net/unix"
};
If they are not available - they are modprobed.The problem is that any modprobe takes ~1 second, which kills our startup. If we compile these features into the kernel, the kernel boot time increases. Question(s): Are these kernel features really needed in the early startup phase? I agree to 'unix' but in an automotive environment 'ipv6' and 'autofs4' are typically needed at a later point in the startup (or not needed at all). Is it possible to provide them as unit files so that they can be loaded if really needed?
