189 | What: find_trylock_page | ||
190 | When: January 2007 | ||
191 | Why: 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. | ||
