Subject: [PATCH 1/3] rcutorture: catchup doc fixes for idle-hz tests
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2006 11:52:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060626185247.GA2141@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20060626184821.GA2091@us.ibm.com>

This just catches the RCU torture documentation up with the recent
fixes that test RCU for architectures that turn of the scheduling-clock
interrupt for idle CPUs and the addition of a SUCCESS/FAILURE
indication, fixing up an obsolete comment as well.
