Subject: [PATCH rcu 1/6] rcu: Update synchronize_rcu_mult() comment for call_rcu_hurry()
Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2023 11:03:12 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230717180317.1097590-1-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <6127192c-da9b-4599-9738-6e8f92e6c75c@paulmck-laptop>

Those who have worked with RCU for some time will naturally think in
terms of the long-standing call_rcu() API rather than the much newer
call_rcu_hurry() API.  But it is call_rcu_hurry() that you should normally
pass to synchronize_rcu_mult().  This commit therefore updates the header
comment to point this out.
