Subject: [PATCH v3 34/34] SUNRPC: Remove svc_fill_symlink_pathname()
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 08:49:55 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013124955.316849-5-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013124955.316849-1-cel@kernel.org>

The NFSv2 and NFSv3 SYMLINK procedures copy the target pathname out
of a struct xdr_buf with nfsd_symlink_target(), so
svc_fill_symlink_pathname() has no callers left. Remove it.
