The patch titled Subject: fs/stat.c: drop the last new_valid_dev check has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fs-statc-drop-the-last-new_valid_dev-check.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Yaowei Bai <baiyaowei@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: fs/stat.c: drop the last new_valid_dev check New_valid_dev() always returns true, so that's unnecessary to perform new_valid_dev() checks in some filesystems. Most checks of new_valid_dev() have been removed so let's drop this last one and then we can remove new_valid_dev() from the source code. No functional change.
