The patch titled FAT_VALID_MEDIA(): remove pointless test has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was fat_valid_media-remove-pointless-test.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: FAT_VALID_MEDIA(): remove pointless test From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The on-disk media specification field in FAT is only 8-bits, so testing for <=0xff is pointless, and can generate a "comparison is always true due to limited range of data type" warning. While we're there, convert FAT_VALID_MEDIA() into a C function - the present implementation is buggy: it generates either one or two references to its argument.
