It also has a disgruntled warning comment next to it, suggesting it shouldn't be there at all. Signed-off-by: Brian Norris Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Boaz Harrosh Cc: Jens Axboe --- Only compile tested for now, as it's trivial. Just an RFC, since I don't really understand the context of why this (or the comment) is here in the first place.
