Subject: [GIT PULL v2 rcu/next] memory-barriers.txt commits for 4.6
Date: Tue, 15 Mar 2016 08:46:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160315154631.GA1712@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

Hello, Ingo,

This series consists of changes to memory-barriers.txt, that is, the
contents of the earlier documentation-series pull request, but leaving
out the controversial Documentation/RCU/Design changes.

I do not expect to have Documentation/RCU/Design commits for the
current merge window.  In fact, in view of the no-diagrams and
no-quizzes restrictions, I don't see a way to improve on comments
in the source code.  I therefore I expect that I will drop that work
entirely.  If anyone has any suggestions on what to do with the existing
Documentation/RCU/Design/Requirements, up to and including "git rm",
please let me know.

The memory-barriers.txt commits are available in the git repository at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git for-mingo
