Date: Fri, 25 Mar 2022 15:42:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220325224201.36570C340ED@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The patch titled
     Subject: mm: clarify __GFP_ZEROTAGS comment
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     mm-clarify-__gfp_zerotags-comment.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>
Subject: mm: clarify __GFP_ZEROTAGS comment

__GFP_ZEROTAGS is intended as an optimization: if memory is zeroed during
allocation, it's possible to set memory tags at the same time with little
performance impact.

Clarify this intention of __GFP_ZEROTAGS in the comment.
