doc:lock: remove reference to clever use of read-write lock

2019-09-14T07:53:27Z

Remove the clever example about read-write lock because this type of lock is not recommended anymore (according to the very same document). So there is no reason to teach clever things that people should not do. Signed-off-by: Federico Vaga Acked-by: Will Deacon Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs: locking: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-07-15T11:53:27Z

Convert the locking documents to ReST and add them to the kernel development book where it belongs. Most of the stuff here is just to make Sphinx to properly parse the text file, as they're already in good shape, not requiring massive changes in order to be parsed. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Acked-by: Federico Vaga
