Subject: [RFC] rcu: doc: update example about stale data
Date: Sat, 27 Oct 2018 19:16:53 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181028021653.155513-1-joel@joelfernandes.org> (raw)

The RCU example for 'rejecting stale data' on system-call auditting
stops iterating through the rules if a deleted one is found. It makes
more sense to continue looking at other rules once a deleted one is
rejected. Although the original example is fine, this makes it more
meaningful.
