Subject: [PATCH 07/14] KVM: arm64: Document behavior of pgtable visitor callback
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2022 19:41:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220830194132.962932-8-oliver.upton@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220830194132.962932-1-oliver.upton@linux.dev>

The argument list to kvm_pgtable_visitor_fn_t has gotten rather long.
Additionally, @old serves as both an input and output parameter, which
isn't easily discerned from the declaration alone.

Document the meaning of the visitor callback arguments and the
conditions under which @old was written to.

Signed-off-by: Oliver Upton <oliver.upton@linux.dev>
