Subject: [PATCH v5 3/5] perf test: Fix parallel/sequential option documentation
Date: Thu,  9 Jan 2025 20:57:34 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250110045736.598281-4-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250110045736.598281-1-irogers@google.com>

The parallel option was removed in commit 94d1a913bdc4 ("perf test:
Make parallel testing the default"). Update the sequential
documentation to reflect it isn't the default except for "exclusive"
tests.

Fixes: 94d1a913bdc4 ("perf test: Make parallel testing the default")
Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>
