Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/3] Tracepoint: fix documentation of RCU lockdep checks
Date: Wed,  7 Oct 2015 06:39:18 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1444214360-16708-1-git-send-email-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com> (raw)

The documentation on top of __DECLARE_TRACE() does not match its
implementation since the condition check has been added to the
RCU lockdep checks. Update the documentation to match its
implementation.

Fixes: a05d59a56733 "tracing: Add condition check to RCU lockdep checks"
