Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 15:22:30 -0400 From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> To: Linux Kernel Developers List <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Cc: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@....edu> Subject: [PATCH 12/49] ext4: Remove outdated comment about lock_super() ext4_fill_super() is no longer called by read_super(), and it is no longer called with the superblock locked. The unlock_super()/lock_super() is no longer present, so this comment is entirely superfluous.
