[patch 21/31] mm/huge_memory: rename freeze_page() to unmap_page()

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

 



From: Hugh Dickins <hughd@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: mm/huge_memory: rename freeze_page() to unmap_page()

The term "freeze" is used in several ways in the kernel, and in mm it has
the particular meaning of forcing page refcount temporarily to 0. 
freeze_page() is just too confusing a name for a function that unmaps a
page: rename it unmap_page(), and rename unfreeze_page() remap_page().

Went to change the mention of freeze_page() added later in mm/rmap.c, but
found it to be incorrect: ordinary page reclaim reaches there too; but the
substance of the comment still seems correct, so edit it down.
