The patch titled Subject: mm/memory.c: clarify a confusing comment for vm_iomap_memory has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was mm-clarify-a-confusing-comment-for-vm_iomap_memory.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Wang Wenhu <wenhu.wang@xxxxxxxx> Subject: mm/memory.c: clarify a confusing comment for vm_iomap_memory The param "start" actually referes to the physical memory start, which is to be mapped into virtual area vma. And it is the field vma->vm_start which stands for the start of the area. Most of the time, we do not read through whole implementation of a function but only the definition and essential comments. Accurate comments are definitely the base stone.
