Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/kexec: Remove stale comment from check_realloc_usable_mem()
Date: Sun, 26 Jul 2026 20:30:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260726183016.372197-2-thorsten.blum@linux.dev> (raw)
check_realloc_usable_mem() does not free the buffer if memory allocation
fails - remove the misleading comment. The buffer is owned and freed by
update_usable_mem_fdt().
