- * struct klp_ops - structure for tracking registered ftrace ops structs
- *
- * A single ftrace_ops is shared between all enabled replacement functions
- * (klp_func structs) which have the same old_addr.  This allows the switch
- * between function versions to happen instantaneously by updating the klp_ops
- * struct's func_stack list.  The winner is the klp_func at the top of the
- * func_stack (front of the list).
- *
- * @node:	node for the global klp_ops list
- * @func_stack:	list head for the stack of klp_func's (active func is on top)
- * @fops:	registered ftrace ops struct

- * The klp_mutex protects the global lists and state transitions of any
- * structure reachable from them.  References to any structure must be obtained
- * under mutex protection (except in klp_ftrace_handler(), which uses RCU to
- * ensure it gets consistent data).
+ * klp_mutex is a coarse lock which serializes access to klp data.  All
+ * accesses to klp-related variables and structures must have mutex protection,
+ * except within the following functions which carefully avoid the need for it:
+ *
