Message-Id: <1422827252-31363-1-git-send-email-sharon.dvir1@mail.huji.ac.il> Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2015 23:47:32 +0200 From: Sharon Dvir <sharon.dvir1@...l.huji.ac.il> To: peterz@...radead.org Cc: mingo@...hat.com, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, sharon.dvir1@...l.huji.ac.il Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: remove unneeded word. The second 'mutex' shouldn't be there, it can't be about the mutex, as the mutex can't be freed, but unlocked, the memory where the mutex resides however, can be freed.
