Subject: [PATCH] mm/slab: stop exporting kvfree_rcu_barrier[_on_cache]()
Date: Thu, 30 Jul 2026 16:32:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260730-unexport-barriers-v1-1-852f6641abe9@kernel.org> (raw)

No module code calls these functions directly. Seems it was always the
case. Remove the exports.
