240 | What: find_trylock_page | ||
241 | When: January 2007 | ||
242 | Why: The interface no longer has any callers left in the kernel. It | ||
243 | is an odd interface (compared with other find_*_page functions), in | ||
244 | that it does not take a refcount to the page, only the page lock. | ||
245 | It should be replaced with find_get_page or find_lock_page if possible. | ||
246 | This feature removal can be reevaluated if users of the interface | ||
247 | cannot cleanly use something else. | ||
