Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 04/20] doc: rcu: Update information about resched_cpu
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2018 11:56:29 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181111195645.9205-4-paulmck@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181111195619.GA6958@linux.ibm.com>

From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>

Since commit fced9c8cfe6b ("rcu: Avoid resched_cpu() when rescheduling
the current CPU"), resched_cpu is not directly called from
sync_sched_exp_handler. Update the documentation about the same.
