Subject: [PATCH] vfs: Update lookup_dcache() comment
Date: Thu,  7 Jul 2016 22:04:04 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1467943444-3081787-1-git-send-email-green@linuxhacker.ru> (raw)

commit 6c51e513a3aa ("lookup_dcache(): lift d_alloc() into callers")
removed the need_lookup argument from lookup_dcache(), but the
comment was forgotten. Also it no longer allocates a new dentry
if nothing was found.
