[PATCH] Documentation/filesystems: remove out of date reference toBKL being held

From: Adrian McMenamin
Date: Sun Mar 15 2009 - 19:17:46 EST


Documentation/filesystems/vfs.txt incorrectly states that the kernel is
locked during the call to statfs (Documentation/filesystems/Locking
correctly says it is not). This patch removes the offending sentence.

remove reference to BKL being held in statfs
