From 9ddf61bd09a7668279d2b208a96eba784bec3d80 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marcelo Tosatti Date: Mon, 5 Dec 2005 10:15:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] [ARM SMP] mpcore_wdt bogus fpos check drivers/char/watchdog/mpcore_wdt.c write function contains a check for (ppos != &file->f_pos). Such check used to make sense when a pointer to file->f_pos was handed by vfs_write(), not a copy of it as it stands now.
