Why don't this be added to toctree in Documentation/gpu/index.rst?

Yes so there is existing orphan documentation for msm so my intention was to add it as orphan then eventually send out a series to organize it properly (so creating an msm directory with an index which then points two files we currently have). Does that sound good to you?

Thanks for pointing out the typo!

Do you mean that the kernel finds highest priority ring possible that is not
empty? What if all these 4 rings are empty?

Confused...


Yep, if all rings are empty we don't preempt, same as when the highest priority ring is the current one.
