Subject: [PATCH] Freezer / Documentation: Update freezer documentation
Date: Sat, 29 Oct 2011 23:04:20 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20111029173418.4559.3699.stgit@srivatsabhat.in.ibm.com> (raw)

This patch:
 * substitutes some obsolete references to kernel/power/process.c by
   kernel/freezer.c
 * mentions kernel/freezer.c as being part of the "freezer" code along
   with the rest of the files
 * fixes a trivial typo.
