Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [net-next v3] net: remove ndo_do_ioctl handler
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 23:14:04 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915211538.1519815-2-arnd@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915211538.1519815-1-arnd@kernel.org>
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
All of the references to the callback pointer are gone, so remove the
pointer itself before we grow new references to it.
