Subject: [PATCH 5.15.y 1/2] fs/ocfs2: fix comments mentioning i_mutex
Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:41:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260420144158.1143438-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026042002-rumbling-plunder-40f1@gregkh>
From: hongnanli <hongnan.li@linux.alibaba.com>
[ Upstream commit 137cebf9432eae024d0334953ed92a2a78619b52 ]
inode->i_mutex has been replaced with inode->i_rwsem long ago. Fix
comments still mentioning i_mutex.
