Subject: [PATCH rcu 2/6] rcu/tasks: Update rtp->tasks_gp_seq comment
Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2024 17:34:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240802003426.4134196-2-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <41c68c6b-2c55-4c2d-ab70-f2a5b38eb374@paulmck-laptop>
The rtp->tasks_gp_seq grace-period sequence number is not a strict count,
but rather the usual RCU sequence number with the lower few bits tracking
per-grace-period state and the upper bits the count of grace periods
since boot, give or take the initial value. This commit therefore
adjusts this comment.
