Subject: rcu: Remove list_for_each_continue_rcu()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bb08f76d8419a163b7a4212a0e4ea6bd25acacd1;p=linux-beck.git

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.
