Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: mount_api: change kernel log wording
Date: Tue,  1 Dec 2020 17:24:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201202012409.19194-1-rdunlap@infradead.org> (raw)

Change wording to say that messages are logged to the kernel log
buffer instead of to dmesg. dmesg is just one program that can
print the kernel log buffer.

Fixes: 7d6ab823d646 ("vfs: Update mount API docs")
