Subject: [PATCH v2 1/9] mm/vmscan: add a comment about MADV_FREE pages check in folio_check_dirty_writeback

Message-ID: <20220409093500.10329-2-linmiaohe@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220409093500.10329-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com>

The MADV_FREE pages check in folio_check_dirty_writeback is a bit hard to
