Subject: [1/1] Export __lock_page_killable()
Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 18:11:58 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080514141157.GA27047@2ka.mipt.ru> (raw)
Hi.
There are users, who would like to use lock_page_killable() in modules,
so far there are no users in kernel, but for consistency it can be
exported without them.
Not that it is particulary needed, but copying page_waitqueue() in
modules is frowned upon and unlikely to be exported either.
As a side note, do we want interruptible and time limited locking for
those who knows what is being done?
