From cf48647243cc28d15280600292db5777592606c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Ahmed S. Darwish" Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2020 17:21:41 +0100 Subject: Documentation: seqlock: s/LOCKTYPE/LOCKNAME/g Sequence counters with an associated write serialization lock are called seqcount_LOCKNAME_t. Fix the documentation accordingly. While at it, remove a paragraph that inappropriately discussed a seqlock.h implementation detail.
