Subject: correct inaccurate comment regarding zone_table's usage
Date: Sun, 2 Jun 2002 14:58:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020602215843.GJ14918@holomorphy.com> (raw)
The comment describing the usage of zone_table[] assumes the existence
of an unsigned char page->zone field from the original implementation
of page->zone size reduction. This patch corrects the comment to
accurately describe the lookup mechanism used by page_zone() and also
to mention explicitly the sole user of the table, page_zone().
Against 2.5.19.
Cheers,
Bill
