[PATCH] mm: clarify a confusing comment of remap_pfn_range

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

 



It really made me scratching my head. Replace the comment
with an accurate and consistent description.

The parameter pfn actually referes to the page frame number
which is right-shifted by PAGE_SHIFT from the physical address.
