Subject: [PATCH] namei.c: remove utterly outdated comment
Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2007 16:21:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070307152133.GB15230@lst.de> (raw)

We don't have a routine called namei() anymore since at least 2.3.x,
and the comment is just totally out of sync with the current lookup
logic.
