Subject[PATCH tip/core/rcu 08/10] docs: RCU: Don't duplicate chapter names in rculist_nulls.rst
Date
From: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

Since changeset 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst"),
auto-references for chapters are generated. This is a nice feature, but
has a drawback: no chapters can have the same sumber.

So, we need to add two higher hierarchy chapters on this document,
in order to avoid such duplication.

Fixes: 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst")

With hlist_nulls we can avoid extra smp_rmb() in lockless_lookup()
and extra smp_wmb() in insert function.
