Re: [PATCH] powerpc/tm: Remove struct thread_info param from tm_reclaim_thread()

From: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
Date: 2018-02-01 04:46:49

Cyril Bur [off-list ref] writes:
tm_reclaim_thread() doesn't use the parameter anymore, both callers have
to bother getting it as they have no need for a struct thread_info
either.
In future please tell me why the parameter is unused and when it became
unused.

In this case it was previously used but the last usage was removed in:

dc3106690b20 ("powerpc: tm: Always use fp_state and vr_state to store live registers")

cheers
