Subject: [PATCH 06/35] fsnotify: Update comments
Date: Mon,  3 Apr 2017 17:33:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170403153424.24945-7-jack@suse.cz> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170403153424.24945-1-jack@suse.cz>

Add a comment that lifetime of a notification mark is protected by SRCU
and remove a comment about clearing of marks attached to the inode. It
is stale and more uptodate version is at fsnotify_destroy_marks() which
is the function handling this case.
