[PATCH v2 1/5] mm: Remove definition of clear_bit_unlock_is_negative_byte

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This local definition hasn't been used since commit 84c6591103db
("locking/atomics, asm-generic/bitops/lock.h: Rewrite using
atomic_fetch_*()") which provided a default definition.
