From f4fdace94722cd4ca60bf72816de01ab911c45d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Drokin Date: Thu, 7 Jul 2016 22:04:04 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] vfs: Update lookup_dcache() comment commit 6c51e513a3aa ("lookup_dcache(): lift d_alloc() into callers") removed the need_lookup argument from lookup_dcache(), but the comment was forgotten. Also it no longer allocates a new dentry if nothing was found.
