Subject[PATCH v2 01/23] netconsole: Remove unneeded reference counting
From
Date
The loops that iterate through the list of targets for emitting console
messages in the netconsole driver operating with interrupts disabled and
the list-protecting lock held. There is no way for the elements of the
list to disappear, so we don't need to grab references to them.

This patch keeps the definitions however of netconsole_target_get() and
netconsole_target_put() as they are used in a subsequent patch.
