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.
