[PATCH v2 12/12] xfs: remove a stale comment from xfs_file_aio_write_checks()

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-01-09 08:01:22
Also in: linux-f2fs-devel, linux-fsdevel, linux-xfs
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest, xfs filesystem · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds, Carlos Maiolino

From: Eric Biggers <redacted>

The comment in xfs_file_aio_write_checks() about calling file_modified()
after dropping the ilock doesn't make sense, because the code that
unconditionally acquires and drops the ilock was removed by
commit 467f78992a07 ("xfs: reduce ilock hold times in
xfs_file_aio_write_checks").

Remove this outdated comment.
