[PATCH net-next 9/9] netconsole: move netpoll_wait_carrier() as netcons_wait_carrier()

From: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org>
Date: 2026-07-24 15:05:46
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: netconsole, networking drivers, networking [general], the rest · Maintainers: Breno Leitao, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

netpoll_wait_carrier() waits for the egress device carrier during
netconsole setup. Its only caller, netcons_netpoll_setup(), already
lives in netconsole. Move the function into drivers/net/netconsole.c,
drop EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() and remove the prototype from <linux/netpoll.h>.

Rename it to netcons_wait_carrier() for the netcons_ prefix. It now reads
the timeout through netpoll_get_carrier_timeout(), since carrier_timeout
stays in netpoll to keep the netpoll.carrier_timeout parameter.
