Subject: [RFC][PATCH 4/8] x86/mm: add clarifying comments for user addr space
Date: Fri, 07 Sep 2018 12:48:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180907194858.FD74A39F@viggo.jf.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180907194852.3C351B82@viggo.jf.intel.com>
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com>
The SMAP and Reserved checking do not have nice comments. Add
some to clarify and make it match everything else.
