X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=82a25b5670eef736a20613f8b93fe55ecb5ca4bc;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git [PATCH] remove verify_area(): remove fs/umsdos/notes as it only contain a verify_area related note The file `fs/umsdos/notes' contains only a small note about a possible bug involving verify_area(). Since umsdos is no longer in the kernel and verify_area() is also gone, it seems to make sense that this file goes the way of the Dodo. After applying this patch the `fs/umsdos/' directory will be empty and can be removed entirely.
