[PATCH 09/13] staging: comedi: pcmuio: document the spinlock_t variables

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

 



Add some comments about the two spinlock_t variables in the private
data. Also, add come comments for the functions that do not need to
lock/unlock the spinlock.
