173 | What: find_trylock_page | ||
174 | When: January 2007 | ||
175 | Why: 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. | ||
