Hi Jonathan,
There is this Linux Plumbers video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXuZi9aeGTw
And the pdf: http://pdxplumbers.osuosl.org/2013/ocw//system/presentations/1653/original/LPC%20-%20User%20Threading.pdf
I did not reference them in the patchset because links to sites other
than kernel.org are strongly discouraged... I will definitely add a
documentation patch.
Feel free to reach out to me directly or through this LKML thread if
you have any questions.
Do you think a documentation patch would be useful at this point, as
opposed to a free-form email discussion?
Thanks,
Peter
