The patch titled xfs: clean up stale references to semaphores has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is xfs-clean-up-stale-references-to-semaphores.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: xfs: clean up stale references to semaphores From: Dave Chinner <david@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> A lot of code has been converted away from semaphores, but there are still comments that reference semaphore behaviour. The log code is the worst offender. Update the comments to reflect what the code really does now.
