Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 2/4] srcu: Document that srcu_funnel_gp_start() implies srcu_funnel_exp_start()
Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2018 15:47:56 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180625224758.11300-2-paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180625224734.GA10860@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This commit updates the header comment of srcu_funnel_gp_start() to
document the fact that srcu_funnel_gp_start() does the work of
srcu_funnel_exp_start(), in some cases by invoking it directly.
