From a9877cc2937889e5669114f28612b494384152a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Kennedy Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 17:18:42 -0700 Subject: buffer_head: remove redundant test from wait_on_buffer The comment suggests that when b_count equals zero it is calling __wait_no_buffer to trigger some debug, but as there is no debug in __wait_on_buffer the whole thing is redundant. AFAICT from the git log this has been the case for at least 5 years, so it seems safe just to remove this.
