From 910067d188d56d80801b71b0ca1f73aa400c7b8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Wilcox Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2006 01:58:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] remove generic__raw_read_trylock() If the cpu has the lock held for write, is interrupted, and the interrupt handler calls read_trylock(), it's an instant deadlock. Now, Dave Miller has subsequently pointed out that we don't have any situations where this can occur. Nevertheless, we should delete generic__raw_read_lock (and its associated EXPORT to make Arjan happy) so that nobody thinks they can use it. Acked-by: "David S.
