Subject: [PATCH 01/16] xfs: remove an outdated comment above xfs_file_ioctl
Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 15:03:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260729130320.2282183-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260729130320.2282183-1-hch@lst.de>

The return code sign flipping at the method boundary is long gone in XFS,
so remove this comment documenting an exception from it.
