McKenney" <paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 4/5] documentation: Catch up list of torture_type options This commit rids the documentation of long-obsolete torture_type options such as rcu_sync and adds new ones such as tasks. Also add verbiage noting the fact that rcutorture now concurrently tests the asynchrounous, synchronous, expedited synchronous, and polling grace-period primitives.
