[PATCH 1/2] vhost: vringh: Remove unused iotlb functions

From: linux
Date: Fri Jun 13 2025 - 19:08:58 EST


From: "Dr. David Alan Gilbert" <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The functions:
vringh_abandon_iotlb()
vringh_notify_disable_iotlb() and
vringh_notify_enable_iotlb()

were added in 2020 by
commit 9ad9c49cfe97 ("vringh: IOTLB support")
but have remained unused.

Remove them.
