[PATCH v3] Updated locking documentation for transaction_t

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

 



We used LockDoc to derive locking rules for each member
of struct transaction_t.
Based on those results, we extended the existing documentation
by more members of struct transaction_t, and updated the existing
documentation.
