Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 02/13] rcu: Update rcu_report_qs_rsp() comment
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 21:12:39 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456290770-18659-2-git-send-email-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160224051221.GA17099@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The header comment for rcu_report_qs_rsp() was obsolete, dating well
before the advent of RCU grace-period kthreads.  This commit therefore
brings this comment back into alignment with current reality.
