Subject: [PATCH v4 03/21] mm: document vm_operations_struct->open the same as close()
Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:39:29 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7d0ca833c12014320f0fa00f816f95e6e10076f2.1774045440.git.ljs@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1774045440.git.ljs@kernel.org>
Describe when the operation is invoked and the context in which it is
invoked, matching the description already added for vm_op->close().
While we're here, update all outdated references to an 'area' field for
VMAs to the more consistent 'vma'.
Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka (SUSE) <vbabka@kernel.org>
