From 7ea829664d3ce1977c310d532d5494ce3ec8592a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2023 09:18:50 +0200 Subject: bridge: mcast: Remove pointless sequence generation counter assignment The purpose of the sequence generation counter in the netlink callback is to identify if a multipart dump is consistent or not by calling nl_dump_check_consistent() whenever a message is generated. The function is not invoked by the MDB code, rendering the sequence generation counter assignment pointless. Remove it. Note that even if the function was invoked, we still could not accurately determine if the dump is consistent or not, as there is no sequence generation counter for MDB entries, unlike nexthop objects, for example.
