[PATCH] remove verify_area(): remove fs/umsdos/notes as it only contain a verify_area related note

82a25b56 · Jesper Juhl <[email protected]> · 2005-09-06 15:17:51 -07:00

The file `fs/umsdos/notes' contains only a small note about a possible bug
involving verify_area().  Since umsdos is no longer in the kernel and
verify_area() is also gone, it seems to make sense that this file goes the way
of the Dodo.

After applying this patch the `fs/umsdos/' directory will be empty and can be
removed entirely.
