Subject: [PATCH] hugetlb: Add documentation for vma_kernel_pagesize()
Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2023 18:24:59 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230822172459.4190699-1-willy@infradead.org> (raw)
This is an exported symbol, so it should have kernel-doc. Update
it to mention folios, and point out that they might be larger than
the supported page size for this VMA.
