• 706eeb3e9   Documentation/locking/atomic: Add documents for new atomic_t APIs ... Browse Code »

  Since we've vastly expanded the atomic_t interface in recent years the
  existing documentation is woefully out of date and people seem to get
  confused a bit.

  Start a new document to hopefully better explain the current state of
  affairs.

  The old atomic_ops.txt also covers bitmaps and a few more details so
  this is not a full replacement and we'll therefore keep that document
  around until such a time that we've managed to write more text to cover
  its entire.

  Also please, ReST people, go away.
