* local_t Documentation update 2Mathieu Desnoyers2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Grant Grundler was asking for more detail about correct usage of local atomic operations and suggested adding the resulting summary to local_ops.txt. "Please add a bit more detail. If DaveM is correct (he normally is), then there must be limits on how the local_t can be used in the kernel process and interrupt contexts. I'd like those rules spelled out very clearly since it's easy to get wrong and tracking down such a bug is quite painful."
