Subject: [PATCH v2] Documentation/core-api: min_heap: remove undocumented min_heap_empty()
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 18:01:26 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260721180127.132730-1-jun930436@gmail.com> (raw)
min_heap_empty()/min_heap_empty_inline() are documented as part of
the Min Heap API, but no such functions or macros exist in
include/linux/min_heap.h or lib/min_heap.c. Remove the stale
description instead of adding unused API surface.
Signed-off-by: Jyun-An Chen <jun930436@gmail.com>

Changes since v1:
- Per Kuan-Wei's review, dropped the min_heap_empty()/min_heap_empty_inline()
implementation (unused API with no in-tree callers) and instead just
removed the stale documentation for it.
- Signed-off-by now uses real name instead of GitHub handle.
