From bb08f76d8419a163b7a4212a0e4ea6bd25acacd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2012 12:33:37 -0700 Subject: rcu: Remove list_for_each_continue_rcu() 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. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
