[PATCH 4/5] rcu-tasks: Fix read-side primitives comment for call_rcu_tasks_trace

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

 



call_rcu_tasks_trace() does have read-side primitives - rcu_read_lock_trace()
and rcu_read_unlock_trace(). Fix this information in the comments.
