Subject: [PATCH 01/11] mm: update the documentation for vfree
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2020 15:58:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200924135853.875294-2-hch@lst.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200924135853.875294-1-hch@lst.de>

From: "Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)" <willy@infradead.org>

 * Document that you can call vfree() on an address returned from vmap()
 * Remove the note about the minimum size -- the minimum size of a vmalloc
   allocation is one page
 * Add a Context: section
 * Fix capitalisation
 * Reword the prohibition on calling from NMI context to avoid a double
   negative
