Subject: [PATCH] llist: Make locking comments consistent
Date: Thu, 7 May 2026 11:49:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260507094918.23910-2-phasta@kernel.org> (raw)
llist's locking requirement table has a legend which claims that all
operations not needing a lock a marked with '-', whereas in truth for
some table entries just a whitespace is used.
Add the '-' to all appropriate places.
