    doc: Fix list: rcu_access_pointer() is not lockdep-checked · ca8a439e
    Paul E. McKenney authored
    The rcu_access_pointer() macro does not consult lockdep by design because
    it is intended to be used outside of RCU read-side critical sections.
    This commit therefore makes a separate list for it in whatisRCU.rst.
    
    Similarly, RCU_LOCKDEP_WARN(), rcu_sleep_check(), and RCU_NONIDLE()
    do not do anything with pointer access.  This commit therefore creates
    a separate utility-API list for them.
