From: Michael Kelley <redacted> With the overall removal of Linux support for running on Hyper-V hosts earlier than WS2016 and Windows 10, the check for such versions during hv_sock initialization is no longer necessary. Remove the check. Signed-off-by: Michael Kelley <redacted> --- net/vmw_vsock/hyperv_transport.c | 3 --- 1 file changed, 3 deletions(-)
