[PATCH net-next 3/8] netconsole: move push_ipv6() from netpoll
From: Breno Leitao
Date: Fri May 08 2026 - 09:33:05 EST
push_ipv6() builds the IPv6 header for netconsole's UDP packets.
Its only caller, netpoll_send_udp(), now lives in netconsole, so
the helper can move there as a file-static function. Drop its
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL and remove the prototype from
include/linux/netpoll.h.
