Subject: [PATCH 1/3] mm/nommu: remove description of alloc_vm_area
Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2018 20:59:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1519585191-10180-2-git-send-email-rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1519585191-10180-1-git-send-email-rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

The alloc_mm_area in nommu is a stub, but it's description states it
allocates kernel address space.
Remove the description to make the code and the documentation agree.
