From 42c025f3de9042d9c9abd9a6f6205d1a0f4bcadf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2011 15:58:49 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] workqueue: note the nested NOT_RUNNING test in worker_clr_flags() isn't a noop The nested NOT_RUNNING test in worker_clr_flags() is slightly misleading in that if NOT_RUNNING were a single flag the nested test would be always %true and thus noop. Add a comment noting that the test isn't a noop.
