Subject: [PATCH V2 4/4] doc: watchdog: Modify the doc related to "watchdog/%u"
Date: Thu,  1 Apr 2021 11:31:34 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1617247900-23813-5-git-send-email-wangqing@vivo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1617247900-23813-1-git-send-email-wangqing@vivo.com>

"watchdog/%u" threads has be replaced by cpu_stop_work. The current 
description is extremely misleading.
