Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/6] rcu: Remove list_for_each_continue_rcu()
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2012 09:27:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1351614475-22895-3-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1351614475-22895-1-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The list_for_each_continue_rcu() macro is no longer used, so this commit
removes it.  The list_for_each_entry_continue_rcu() macro should be
used instead.
