Subject: [PATCH net-2.6.25] [NEIGH] Remove unused method from include/net/neighbour.h
Hello,
It seems to me that neigh_is_valid() inline method from
include/net/neighbour.h can be removed since it is not used.
Though it can be considered as an API for future use, and
indeed we have neigh_is_connected() method in this same header (which is BTW
used only in one place, drivers/net/cxgb3/l2t.c), we can easily notice
that we don't have
any accessor method to check whether the neighbour is in NUD_IN_TIMER
(not to mention that we don't have methods to check the single neighbour states,
like NUD_REACHABLE or NUD_DELAY or the other ones). So for consistency
I suggest to
consider removing the neigh_is_valid() method.
Regards,
Rami Rosen
