How did you check that they are indeed unused? I suspect these two patches
are wrong.

I grepped for the uses of these functions. When I did make
M=drivers/staging/lustre, I didn't get errors. What am I missing here?

I see now that you did not remove the declarations from the header files.
Please remove those and try again. Alternatively, you should see link-time
errors when you try to do 'make' without the listing directory.

Yes, you are right. This patchset is incorrect. However I still don't understand why I get these errors when it seems like these functions are not used anywhere. confused

Thanks,

Shraddha
