[PATCH 5/5] mbcache: document that "find" functions only return reusable entries

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

 



mb_cache_entry_find_first() and mb_cache_entry_find_next() only return
cache entries with the 'e_reusable' bit set.  This should be documented.
