Subject: [PATCH 10/16] vfs: nuke pdflush from comments
Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2012 18:12:08 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1343229134-29487-11-git-send-email-artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1343229134-29487-1-git-send-email-artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

The pdflush thread is long gone, so this patch removes references to pdflush
from vfs comments.

Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@linux.intel.com>

I expect this patch to be merged via Al Viro's VFS tree.
