From: David Howells Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 08:20:17 +0000 (+0000) Subject: netfs: Fix the handling of stream->front by removing it X-Git-Tag: v7.0-rc6~1^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e764b9d46071668969410ec5429be0e2f38c6d3;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git netfs: Fix the handling of stream->front by removing it The netfs_io_stream::front member is meant to point to the subrequest currently being collected on a stream, but it isn't actually used this way by direct write (which mostly ignores it). However, there's a tracepoint which looks at it. Further, stream->front is actually redundant with stream->subrequests.next. Fix the potential problem in the direct code by just removing the member and using stream->subrequests.next instead, thereby also simplifying the code.
