Subject: [PATCH 3/3] remove verify_area() - remove fs/umsdos/notes as it only contain a verify_area related note
Date: Mon, 29 Aug 2005 23:25:20 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200508292325.20368.jesper.juhl@gmail.com> (raw)


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.
