From 84d03e52ef4423a434577471cbcf6d739c4b95b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Weiner Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2011 09:46:49 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] The tracing ring-buffer used this function briefly, but not anymore. Make it local to the writeback code again. Also, move the function so that no forward declaration needs to be reintroduced.
