From 0647169cf9aa441700eb8f23ea49be060626534b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Gruenbacher Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2017 12:41:37 +0200 Subject: rhashtable: Documentation tweak Clarify that rhashtable_walk_{stop,start} will not reset the iterator to the beginning of the hash table. Confusion between rhashtable_walk_enter and rhashtable_walk_start has already lead to a bug. Signed-off-by: Andreas Gruenbacher Signed-off-by: David S.
