Subject: [PATCH v5 5/8] kernel-shark-qt: Remove the TODO action in kshark_read_at()
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 19:55:41 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180920165544.17579-6-y.karadz@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180920165544.17579-1-y.karadz@gmail.com>

The TODO message states that we have to understand why racecmd_read_at()
is not thread-safe and see if this can be fixed. We now know why and we
know that this cannot be fixed.
