From abf36fe0be7d754f2a1c733d684d11474e85b7ea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alyssa Rosenzweig Date: Fri, 3 Sep 2021 11:18:26 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs: kernel-hacking: Remove inappropriate text Remove inappropriate sexual (and ableist) text from the locking documentation, aligning it with the kernel code-of-conduct. As the text was unrelated to locking, this change streamlines the document and improves readability.
