Subject: [RFC v2 06/10] pseries/papr-hvpipe: Kill task_struct pointer from struct hvpipe_source_info
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 17:31:36 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47f37e9d782b8e87566c4f2da065569f319d1b3c.1775648406.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1775648406.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>
We don't really use task_struct pointer for anything meaningful. So just
kill it for now, and we can bring back later if we need this for any
future debug purposes.
