189What: find_trylock_page
190When: January 2007
191Why: The interface no longer has any callers left in the kernel. It
192 is an odd interface (compared with other find_*_page functions), in
193 that it does not take a refcount to the page, only the page lock.
194 It should be replaced with find_get_page or find_lock_page if possible.
195 This feature removal can be reevaluated if users of the interface
196 cannot cleanly use something else.
