[PATCH 4/8] mm: Improve comment on page->mapping

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

 



From: Matthew Wilcox <mawilcox@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The comment on page->mapping is terse, and out of date (it does not
mention the possibility of PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE).  Instead, point
the interested reader to page-flags.h where there is a much better
comment.
