Subject: [PATCH 4.4 11/11] rcu: Update documentation of rcu_read_unlock()
Date: Sun,  8 Aug 2021 09:22:46 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210808072217.704630357@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210808072217.322468704@linuxfoundation.org>

From: Anna-Maria Gleixner <anna-maria@linutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit ec84b27f9b3b569f9235413d1945a2006b97b0aa ]

Since commit b4abf91047cf ("rtmutex: Make wait_lock irq safe") the
explanation in rcu_read_unlock() documentation about irq unsafe rtmutex
wait_lock is no longer valid.

Remove it to prevent kernel developers reading the documentation to rely on
it.
