local_t Documentation update

2007-11-05T23:12:32+00:00

Grant Grundler was asking for more detail about correct usage of local
atomic operations and suggested adding the resulting summary to
local_ops.txt.

"Please add a bit more detail. If DaveM is correct (he normally is), then
there must be limits on how the local_t can be used in the kernel process
and interrupt contexts. I'd like those rules spelled out very clearly
since it's easy to get wrong and tracking down such a bug is quite painful."
