Subject: [PATCH bpf] docs/bpf: fix ringbuf documentation
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2020 15:52:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200910225245.2896991-1-andriin@fb.com> (raw)

Remove link to litmus tests that didn't make it to upstream. Fix ringbuf
benchmark link.

I wasn't able to test this with `make htmldocs`, unfortunately, because of
Sphinx dependencies. But bench_ringbufs.c path is certainly correct now.

Fixes: 97abb2b39682 ("docs/bpf: Add BPF ring buffer design notes")
