-Subject: [PATCH] gfapi: add glfs_free() to glfs.h
-
-Commit 4721188a154acd9a0a4c096d8d73e97f3bf1b2a9 introduces glfs_free()
-but missed adding the function to the header. The symbol is correctly
-available in the library though. Testcases do not seem to fail when a
-function is missing for the headers...
-
-The glusterfs-3.7.16 packages have been released with the missing
-declaration in the header and symbol-maps. Still, the function is
-available for applications:
-
-    $ objdump -T usr/lib64/libgfapi.so.0 | grep -w glfs_free
-    0000000000006aa0 g    DF .text	0000000000000035  GFAPI_3.7.16 glfs_free
