Subject: [PATCH v4 3/4] xen: Mark "xen_nopvspin" parameter obsolete
Date: Thu, 3 Oct 2019 22:02:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1570111335-12731-4-git-send-email-zhenzhong.duan@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1570111335-12731-1-git-send-email-zhenzhong.duan@oracle.com>
Map "xen_nopvspin" to "nopvspin", fix stale description of "xen_nopvspin"
as we use qspinlock now.
