Subject: mm/page_alloc: warn on nr_reserved_highatomic underflow
Date: Tue, 25 Feb 2025 18:45:09 +0000
As documented in the comment this underflow should not happen. The
locking has indeed changed here since the comment was written, see the
migratetype hygiene patches[0]. However, those changes made the locking
_safer_, so the underflow _really_ shouldn't happen now. So upgrade the
comment to a warning.
