Subject: mm: khugepaged: better comments for anon vma check in hugepage_vma_revalidate
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2022 10:48:36 -0700
The hugepage_vma_revalidate() needs to check if the vma is still anonymous
vma or not since the address may be unmapped then remapped to file before
khugepaged reaquired the mmap_lock.
The old comment is not quite helpful, elaborate this with better comment.
