[PATCH] Btrfs: cleanup xattr code

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Andrew's review of the xattr code revealed some minor issues that this patch
addresses.  Just an error return fix, got rid of a useless statement and
commented one of the trickier parts of __btrfs_getxattr.  Thanks,
