[PATCH] hugetlb: Add documentation for vma_kernel_pagesize()

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

 



This is an exported symbol, so it should have kernel-doc.  Update
it to mention folios, and point out that they might be larger than
the supported page size for this VMA.
