[PATCH 3/8] mm/percpu: Update the code comment when creating new chunk

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

 



The lock pcpu_alloc_mutex taking code has been moved to the beginning of
pcpu_allo() if it's non atomic allocation. So the code comment above
above pcpu_create_chunk() callsite need be updated.
