From 050a388b7f05b13dbcc5b6f14a4c7565a69a5020 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Romanov Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2022 18:37:54 +0300 Subject: zsmalloc: zs_object_copy: add clarifying comment Patch series "tidy up zsmalloc implementation" This patchset remove some unnecessary checks and adds a clarifying comment. While analysing zs_object_copy() function code, I spent some time to understand what the call kunmap_atomic(d_addr) is for. It seems that this point is not trivial and it is worth adding a comment. This patch (of 2): It's not obvious why kunmap_atomic(d_addr) call is needed.
