Subject: [PATCH 03/21] x86/irq: Remove an old outdated comment about context tracking races
Date: Mon, 27 Nov 2017 11:45:11 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171127104529.12435-4-mingo@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171127104529.12435-1-mingo@kernel.org>

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

That race has been fixed and code cleaned up for a while now.
