Subject: removal of fs/proc/inode-alloc.txt

I find it weird, that a text file should exists among the directories
of C and header files. If it is a legitimate documentation it should
go into Documentation subdirectory, correct? Or if it is so short
like it currently is, go into some C file.

Anyway I don't understand anything about this text file, and from its history:

http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Alkml.org+%22inode-alloc.txt%22&btnG=Google+Search

I don't see its purpose here.

Can someone comment on its history, can it be removed?

Alexey,

With your /proc changes, can you please find a source file to hold this
small file's comments? or should it just be removed?

Thanks,
