[PATCH 5/6] advsync: fix critical section bleed-in description

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

 



A sentence in `Locking Examples` section says both LOCK and UNLOCK
allows preceding operations `bleed in` to the critical section.
However, it's wrong description.  LOCK allows only preceding operations
and UNLOCK allows only following operations to bleed in.  Looks like the
wrong description made by just a trivial mistake.  This commit fixes the
sentence to have correct description.
