[PATCH rfc 4/4] percpu: fix a comment about the chunks ordering

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

 



Since the commit 3e54097beb22 ("percpu: manage chunks based on
contig_bits instead of free_bytes") chunks are sorted based on the
size of the biggest continuous free area instead of the total number
of free bytes. Update the corresponding comment to reflect this.
