[PATCH 1/3] mm/nommu: remove description of alloc_vm_area

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

 



The alloc_mm_area in nommu is a stub, but it's description states it
allocates kernel address space.
Remove the description to make the code and the documentation agree.
