Its filename is list-remove-redundant-extern-for-function-prototypes.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/list-remove-redundant-extern-for-function-prototypes.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-nonmm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andy Shevchenko Subject: list: remove redundant 'extern' for function prototypes Date: Fri, 2 May 2025 15:17:42 +0300 The 'extern' keyword is redundant for function prototypes. list.h never used them and new code in general is better without them.
