Subject: [PATCH] docs: kernel-hacking: Remove inappropriate text
Date: Fri,  3 Sep 2021 11:18:26 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210903151826.6300-1-alyssa@rosenzweig.io> (raw)

Remove inappropriate sexual (and ableist) text from the locking
documentation, aligning it with the kernel code-of-conduct. As the text
was unrelated to locking, this change streamlines the document and
improves readability.

 Locking in the Linux Kernel
 ===========================

+If I could give you one piece of advice on locking: **keep it simple**.
 
 Be reluctant to introduce new locks.
