From db74ece990ea59a9ec9f00f8881026059ef5caf5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Blunck <jblunck@suse.de> Date: Thu, 14 Feb 2008 19:34:29 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Dont touch fs_struct in usermodehelper This test seems to be unnecessary since we always have rootfs mounted before calling a usermodehelper.
