Message-ID: <20071022065546.GC6489@in.ibm.com> Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 12:25:46 +0530 From: Bharata B Rao <bharata@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: Jan Blunck <jblunck@...e.de>, Andreas Gruenbacher <agruen@...e.de>, Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>, viro@...iv.linux.org.uk, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH 02/13] Don't touch fs_struct in usermodehelper From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@...e.de> This test seems to be unnecessary since we always have rootfs mounted before calling a usermodehelper.
