From 88b17b6a22673715348cb6c99a00ff2a0a2a9f9e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Hugne Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2014 14:44:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] tipc: drop tx side permission checks Part of the old remote management feature is a piece of code that checked permissions on the local system to see if a certain operation was permitted, and if so pass the command to a remote node. This serves no purpose after the removal of remote management with commit 5902385a2440 ("tipc: obsolete the remote management feature") so we remove it.
