Without patch - kernel builds fine on this host. With IMQ patch - ld eats all memory

[Wed Nov  6 12:12:14 2024] Out of memory: Killed process 756269 (ld) total-vm:7164372kB, anon-rss:6102620kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB, UID:1153 pgtables:12724kB oom_score_adj:0

Seems need to try host with more RAM

I had the same problem with version linux-6.11.11

Solution

IMQ is built into the kernel, not as a module. You have to set up CONFIG_NETFILTER_NETLINK_QUEUE=y, not 'm'.

Update

The IMQ patch works fine for me in the test environment for both kernel 6.11.x and 6.12.x.
