in [Kernel]

Prev: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 09/10] rcu: update obsolete rcu_read_lock() comment.
Next: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 06/10] rcu: Allow RCU CPU stall warnings to be off at boot, but manually enablable
From: Paul E. McKenney on 9 Aug 2010 18:20 There is some documentation on RCU CPU stall warnings contained in Documentation/RCU/stallwarn.txt, but it will not be apparent to someone who runs into such a warning while under time pressure. This commit therefore adds comments preceding the printk()s pointing out the location of this documentation. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
