From 0500e9b3f11ce84fc6ee48a3e29909145e58ba48 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steffen Klassert Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 07:19:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] padata: Remove padata_get_cpumask A function that copies the padata cpumasks to a user buffer is a bit error prone. The cpumask can change any time so we can't be sure to have the right cpumask when using this function. A user who is interested in the padata cpumasks should register to the padata cpumask notifier chain instead. Users of padata_get_cpumask are already updated, so we can remove it.
