This series provides a few documentation updates: 1. Update rcu_barrier() documentation to note that it no longer is guaranteed to wait for a full grace period. This guarantee was a victim of energy efficiency. 2. Update RTFP documentation. 3. Fix a control-dependency example in the memory-barriers documentation. Changes from v1 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/17/94): o Apply Josh Triplett review comments.
