commit 05931b70145677a8a91c8c135a3cc52438095364 Author: Marco Casaroli <[email protected]> AuthorDate: Thu Oct 8 12:20:07 2026 +0200 Documentation: Describe the per-object wait lists of the scheduler. nuttx_tasking.rst lists g_waitingforsemaphore, g_waitingformqnotempty and g_waitingformqnotfull as task lists. They no longer exist: a task that waits for a semaphore, an event or a message queue is on a prioritized wait list in that object. Describe that, and remove the three lists. Also spell "preempted" as codespell wants, because CI checks every file that a change touches.
