[PATCH] ubifs: Remove obsolete TODO from dfs_file_write()

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

 



AFAICT this kind of problems are no longer possible since
debugfs gained file removal protection via
e9117a5a4bf6 ("debugfs: implement per-file removal protection").
