Subject: [PATCH] kill ->put_inode
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=33dcdac2df54e66c447ae03f58c95c7251aa5649;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

[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.
