Subject: [PATCH rcu 2/9] rcu: Fix description of kvfree_rcu()
Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2022 15:07:58 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220204230805.4193767-2-paulmck@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220204230751.GA4193671@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1>
From: "Uladzislau Rezki (Sony)" <urezki@gmail.com>
The kvfree_rcu() header comment's description of the "ptr" parameter
is unclear, therefore rephrase it to make it clear that it is a pointer
to the memory to eventually be passed to kvfree().
