From 4c416f42ee961cbea1e1d9de27a7acb571e62622 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yaowei Bai Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2016 16:58:01 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fs/stat.c: drop the last new_valid_dev check New_valid_dev() always returns true, so that's unnecessary to perform new_valid_dev() checks in some filesystems. Most checks of new_valid_dev() have been removed so let's drop this last one and then we can remove new_valid_dev() from the source code. No functional change.
