This is an ack with an additional comment that this function is in need of
a cleanup due to unnecessary subtlety.

Hi all!

As part of the VAMOS[0] research project at the University of
Erlangen we're checking referential integrity between kernel KConfig
options and in-code Conditional blocks.

The CIFS Quota module seems to be a bit larger than the other
unreachable code blocks I've come acros recently. Is the KConfig Item
simply missing here? If not maybe the unreachable code should be
removed from the kernel tree?

Please keep me informed of this patch getting confirmed /
merged so we can keep track of it.

Regards

Christoph Egger

Subject: [PATCH] Getting rid of CONFIG_CIFS_QUOTA

CONFIG_CIFS_QUOTA has been a Zombi Feature for a really long time now
and doesn't seem to be developed on. So this change gets rid of the
unused Codepath.
