Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 14/15] rust: remove kernel::ModuleMetadata
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2026 17:08:12 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260110-this_module_fix-v3-14-97a3d9c14e8b@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260110-this_module_fix-v3-0-97a3d9c14e8b@gmail.com>
We have all information available also in THIS_MODULE. All users use
that already so there is no users for this anymore so remove it.
