Subject: [PATCH memory-barriers.txt 2/7] documentation: Fix missed renaming: s/lock/acquire
Date: Tue, 12 Apr 2016 08:52:50 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1460476375-27803-2-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160412155228.GA27257@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
From: SeongJae Park <sj38.park@gmail.com>
Terms `lock` and `unlock` have changed to `acquire` / `release` by
commit 2e4f5382d12a441b5cccfdde00308df15c2ce300 ("locking/doc: Rename
LOCK/UNLOCK to ACQUIRE/RELEASE"). However, the commit missed to change
the table of content. This commit changes the missed parts.
Also, section name `Acquiring functions` is not appropriate for the
section because the section is saying about lock in actual. This commit
changes the name to more appropriate name, `Lock acquisition functions`.
