Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv4: remove obsolete EXPORT_SYMBOL() and EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL()
Date: Thu, 4 Jun 2026 17:34:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260604173413.2782008-1-edumazet@google.com> (raw)
These symbols no longer need to be exported, they are only used from
vmlinux:
- inet_send_prepare
- inet_splice_eof
- inet_sk_rebuild_header
- inet_current_timestamp
- snmp_fold_field
- snmp_get_cpu_field64
- snmp_fold_field64
- fib_nh_common_release
- fib_nh_common_init
- fib_nexthop_info
- fib_add_nexthop
- ip_build_and_send_pkt
- ipv4_sk_update_pmtu
- ipv4_sk_redirect
- rt_dst_clone
