From 2b4aa3cec4873005a0d5155395b34641584b3a4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2015 20:04:07 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] net: Remove dev_queue_xmit_sk A function with weird arguments that it will never use to accomdate a netfilter callback prototype is absolutely in the core of the networking stack. Frankly it does not make sense and it causes a lot of confusion as to why arguments that are never used are being passed to the function. As I am preparing to make a second change to arguments to the okfn even the names stops making sense. As I have removed the two callers of this function remove this confusion from the networking stack. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Signed-off-by: David S.
