Subject: [PATCH net-next V9 01/14] devlink: Update nested instance locking comment
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2026 08:59:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260326065949.44058-2-tariqt@nvidia.com> (raw)

From: Cosmin Ratiu <cratiu@nvidia.com>
In commit [1] a comment about nested instance locking was updated. But
there's another place where this is mentioned, so update that as well.
[1] commit 0061b5199d7c ("devlink: Reverse locking order for nested
instances")
