Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Doc: Fix wrong API example usage of call_rcu().
Date: Fri, 06 Mar 2009 14:27:38 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090306132738.15896.2226.stgit@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090306132732.15896.96543.stgit@localhost.localdomain>

At some point the API of call_rcu() changed from three parameters
to two parameters, correct the documentation.

One confusing thing in RCU/listRCU.txt, which is NOT fixed in this patch,
is that no reason or explaination is given for using call_rcu() instead of
the normal synchronize_rcu() call.
