[PATCH V6 7/7] docs: mm: numaperf.rst Add brief description for access class 1.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Try to make minimal changes to the document which already describes
access class 0 in a generic fashion (including IO initiatiors that
are not CPUs).
