Subject: [PATCH rcu 4/7] srcu: Point call_srcu() to call_rcu() for detailed memory ordering
Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2025 21:45:44 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250218054547.7364-5-boqun.feng@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250218054547.7364-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit causes the call_srcu() kernel-doc header to reference that
of call_rcu() for detailed memory-ordering guarantees.
