Subject: [PATCH 03/18] watch_queue: Drop references to /dev/watch_queue
Date: Wed, 09 Dec 2020 12:14:50 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <160751609000.1238376.15155902499805348989.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <160751606428.1238376.14935502103503420781.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@collabora.com>

The merged API doesn't use a watch_queue device, but instead relies on
pipes, so let the documentation reflect that.

Fixes: f7e47677e39a ("watch_queue: Add a key/keyring notification facility")
