From a15920bea0428cd22291637f6c72542b1843e65f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mathieu Desnoyers Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 17:42:42 -0500 Subject: tracepoints: Fix documentation of RCU lockdep checks The documentation on top of __DECLARE_TRACE() does not match its implementation since the condition check has been added to the RCU lockdep checks. Update the documentation to match its implementation.
