From 33dcdac2df54e66c447ae03f58c95c7251aa5649 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2008 17:46:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] [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.
