[PATCH 1/2] Documentation/locking/lockdep: update info about states

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Commit d92a8cfcb37e ("locking/lockdep: Rework FS_RECLAIM annotation") removed
reclaim_fs lockdep STATE.

Reflect the change in documentation.

While we are at it, also clarify formula to calculate number of state
bits.
