From 68d75ed4b84a0806ecd4bc14da4759713b23a532 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Tue, 18 May 2010 12:58:33 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: Remove usage of S_BIAS to avoid merge conflict with the vfs tree In Al's latest vfs tree the code is reworked and S_BIAS has been removed. It turns out that checking to see if a super block is in the middle of an unmount in sysfs_exit_ns is unnecessary because we remove the super_block from the s_supers/s_instances list before struct sysfs_super_info pointed to by sb->s_fs_info is freed. For now just delete the unnecessary check to see if a superblock is in the middle of an unmount, it isn't necessary with or without Al's changes and it just causes a needless conflict.
