Subject: [PATCH 07/17] eventpoll: drop unused depth argument from epoll_mutex_lock()
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 15:46:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424-work-epoll-rework-v1-7-249ed00a20f3@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424-work-epoll-rework-v1-0-249ed00a20f3@kernel.org>

epoll_mutex_lock() has three callers, all in do_epoll_ctl(), and every
one passes depth == 0. The argument has been dead since the helper was
introduced. Drop it. Because a zero subclass makes mutex_lock_nested()
equivalent to mutex_lock(), switch the blocking path to the simpler
primitive as well.

No functional change.
