From 8cdd32a918350430483751feaae1c19cef816f69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Paul E. McKenney" Date: Mon, 9 Aug 2010 14:23:03 -0700 Subject: rcu: refer RCU CPU stall-warning victims to stallwarn.txt 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.
