Subject: [PATCH 2/3] memblock tests: update style of comments for memblock_reserve_*() functions
Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2022 06:19:01 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6f385ad37eeb81331f9556fdddeced80ae32bded.1650452552.git.remckee0@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1650452552.git.remckee0@gmail.com>

Update comments in memblock_reserve_*() functions to match the style used
in tests/alloc_*.c by rewording to make the expected outcome more apparent
and, if more than one memblock is involved, adding a visual of the
memory blocks.
