Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 5/6] net: remove dev_valid_name() check from __dev_alloc_name()
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2023 08:23:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231023152346.3639749-6-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20231023152346.3639749-1-kuba@kernel.org>

__dev_alloc_name() is only called by dev_prep_valid_name(),
which already checks that name is valid.
