Subject: [PATCH v2] mm/mm_init.c: Extend init unavailable range doc info
Date: Sat,  2 Dec 2023 14:18:52 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231202111855.18392-1-fancer.lancer@gmail.com> (raw)

Besides of the already described reasons the pages backended memory holes
might present due to having non-memory regions covered by the contiguous
flatmem mapping. Add such note to the init_unavailable_range() method kdoc
in order to point out to one more reason of having the function executed
for such regions.

Changelog v2:
- The holes in the memory are actually justified by having the flatmem
  mapping model. Change the patch and the log accordingly. (@Mike)
