From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Tue Oct 06 2015 - 12:34:14 EST


Hello!

This series contains a few documentation updates:

1. Clearly state that RCU readers have no acquire/release semantics.

2. Call out slow consoles as a cause of stall warnings.

3. Update whatisRCU() to show rcu_dereference_protected(),
courtesy of Jason A. Donenfeld.

4. Catch up list of torture_type options.

5. Add lockless_dereference() to memory-barriers.txt.

Thanx, Paul
