From 93fac7041f082297b93655a0e49f659cd7520e40 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Piggin Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2006 02:29:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm: schedule find_trylock_page() removal find_trylock_page() is an odd interface in that it doesn't take a reference like the others. Now that XFS no longer uses it, and its last remaining caller actually wants an elevated refcount, opencode that callsite and schedule find_trylock_page() for removal.
