Subject: [PATCH 07/10] DOC: update documentation for swap_activate and swap_rw
Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2022 10:49:41 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <164859778126.29473.6778751233552859461.stgit@noble.brown> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <164859751830.29473.5309689752169286816.stgit@noble.brown>

This documentation for ->swap_activate() has been out-of-date for a long
time.  This patch updates it to match recent changes, and adds
documentation for the associated ->swap_rw()
