Subject: [PATCH rcu 18/20] srcu: Document that srcu_{read_lock,down_read}() can share srcu_struct
Date: Sun, 23 Feb 2025 18:22:12 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250224022214.12037-19-boqun.feng@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250224022214.12037-1-boqun.feng@gmail.com>

From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paulmck@kernel.org>

This commit adds a sentence to the srcu_down_read() function's kernel-doc
header noting that it is permissible to use srcu_down_read() and
srcu_read_lock() on the same srcu_struct, even concurrently.
