173What: find_trylock_page
174When: January 2007
175Why: The interface no longer has any callers left in the kernel. It
176 is an odd interface (compared with other find_*_page functions), in
177 that it does not take a refcount to the page, only the page lock.
178 It should be replaced with find_get_page or find_lock_page if possible.
179 This feature removal can be reevaluated if users of the interface
180 cannot cleanly use something else.
