Re: [PATCH] mm/swap: cleanup *lru_cache_add* functions

[Jianyu Zhan]

Hi, Christoph Hellwig,

>There are no modular users of lru_cache_add, so please don't needlessly
>export it.

yep, I re-checked and found there is no module user of neither 
lru_cache_add() nor lru_cache_add_anon(), so don't export it.

Here is the renewed patch:
---

In mm/swap.c, __lru_cache_add() is exported, but actually there are
no users outside this file. However, lru_cache_add() is supposed to
be used by vfs, or whatever others, but it is not exported.

This patch unexports __lru_cache_add(), and makes it static.
It also exports lru_cache_add_file(), as it is use by cifs, which
be loaded as module.
