That file went away with commit bd8cc5a062f4 (srcu: Remove Classic SRCU)
during the 4.13 merge window, leading to errors like:

  Error: Cannot open file ./kernel/rcu/srcu.c

during the docs build.

Probably we should really put the RCU documentation into the core-API
manual, but that's a change for another day.

Would it make sense to have checkpatch.pl to point to these files as well as
to MAINTAINERS when files are added or removed?  I freely confess that I
have only rarely updated the kernel-doc files.

Here are the list of RCU-related files containing kernel-doc headers:

$ grep -l "/\*\*" include/linux/*rcu* kernel/rcu/*
include/linux/rculist_bl.h
include/linux/rculist.h
include/linux/rculist_nulls.h
include/linux/rcupdate.h
include/linux/rcupdate_wait.h
include/linux/rcu_sync.h
include/linux/rcutree.h
include/linux/srcu.h
kernel/rcu/srcutree.c
kernel/rcu/sync.c
kernel/rcu/tree.c
kernel/rcu/tree_exp.h
kernel/rcu/tree_plugin.h
kernel/rcu/update.c

So something like this, ignoring the Documentation/driver-api/basics.rst
cleanup that would be needed (for the moment)?

							Thanx, Paul
