Subject: [PATCH] document optimizing macro for translating PROT_ to VM_ bits
Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2003 12:06:30 +0300 [thread overview]

In continuation to the thread at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=3D106270456516176&w=2 wrt
translating PROT_(censored) bits to VM_(censored) bits, here's a small
comment only patch to document the optimizing macro Jamie's patch
used. Against 2.6.0-t6, but should apply to anything
recent. Compiles.
Cheers,
Muli
