Subject: [Patch] debugfs: Remove misleading comments.
Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2007 07:57:47 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070214075747.4b0722e5@gondolin.boeblingen.de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20070214074208.0e2d1724@gondolin.boeblingen.de.ibm.com>
[This goes on top of Peter's symlink patch.]
From: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com>
Just mention which error will be returned if debugfs is disabled. Callers
should be able to figure out themselves what they need to check.
