Subject: [PATCH] kill ->put_inode
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc2~58^2~1
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=33dcdac2df54e66c447ae03f58c95c7251aa5649;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] kill ->put_inode

And with that last patch to affs killing the last put_inode instance we
can finally, after many years of transition kill this racy and awkward
interface.

(It's kinda funny that even the description in
Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt was entirely wrong..)

Also remove a very misleading comment above the defintion of
struct super_operations.
