From 2320bda26df75c02f86c9fa42c3355ebcd16d8ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhouyi Zhou Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2018 06:50:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Adjust the comment of function rcu_is_watching Because RCU avoids interrupting idle CPUs, rcu_is_watching() is used to test whether or not it is currently legal to run RCU read-side critical sections on this CPU. However, the first sentence and last sentences of current comment for rcu_is_watching have opposite meaning of what is expected. This commit therefore fixes this header comment.
