Subject: [PATCH 2/4] io_destroy.2: fix up the description
Date: Thu, 4 Apr 2013 15:36:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1365104218-26042-3-git-send-email-jmoyer@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1365104218-26042-1-git-send-email-jmoyer-H+wXaHxf7aLQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>
The description was rather vague, citing a "list of I/O contexts" and
stating that it "can" cancel outstanding requests. This update makes
things more concrete so that a reader knows exactly what's going on.
