mm/rmap: drop stale comment in page_add_anon_rmap and hugepage_add_anon_rmap()
Patch series "Anon rmap cleanups".
Some cleanups around rmap for anon pages. I'm working on more cleanups
also around file rmap -- also to handle the "compound" parameter
internally only and to let hugetlb use page_add_file_rmap(), but these
changes make sense separately.
This patch (of 6):
That comment was added in commit 5dbe0af47f8a ("mm: fix kernel BUG at
mm/rmap.c:1017!") to document why we can see vma->vm_end getting adjusted
concurrently due to a VMA split.
However, the optimized locking code was changed again in bf181b9f9d8 ("mm
anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree.").
... and later, the comment was changed in commit 0503ea8f5ba7 ("mm/mmap:
remove __vma_adjust()") to talk about "vma_merge" although the original
issue was with VMA splitting.
Let's just remove that comment. Nowadays, it's outdated, imprecise and
confusing.
