Subject: [PATCH 03/10 net-next] ipv6: remove dynamic ICMPv6 sender registration infrastructure
Date: Mon,  9 Mar 2026 03:19:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260309022013.5199-4-fmancera@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260309022013.5199-1-fmancera@suse.de>

As IPv6 is built-in only, there is no need to maintain the sender
registration infrastructure used to allow built-in subsystems to send
ICMPv6 messages when IPv6 was compiled as a module.

Drop the registration mechanism and the __icmpv6_send() sender
implementation. While icmpv6_send() users could be converted to
icmp6_send() that doesn't seems necessary as none of them are using the
force_saddr parameter.
