Subject: [PATCH] locking/rtmutex: Fix misleading comment
Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2024 11:26:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241008092606.GJ33184@noisy.programming.kicks-ass.net> (raw)


Going through the RCU-boost and rtmutex code, I ran into this utterly
confusing comment. Fix it to avoid confusing future readers.
