[PATCH] Documentation/filesystems: remove out of date reference to BKL being held

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt incorrectly states that the kernel is
locked during the call to statfs (Documentation/filesystems/Locking
correctly says it is not). This patch removes the offending sentence.

remove reference to BKL being held in statfs
