Subject: [WATCHDOG] Remove the redundant check for pwrite() in EP93XXX watchdog.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~509^2~19
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a9e8bb5b60a9f5c10d38aebc13f8a3d2e1ffc0e7;p=~emulex%2Finfiniband.git

[WATCHDOG] Remove the redundant check for pwrite() in EP93XXX watchdog.

Remove the redundant check for pwrite(), given that the open() routine
already invokes nonseekable_open().
