Subject: [PATCH 04/12] mm: compaction: clean up comment for sched contention
Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2022 22:12:45 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220418141253.24298-5-linmiaohe@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220418141253.24298-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com>

Since commit cf66f0700c8f ("mm, compaction: do not consider a need to
reschedule as contention"), async compaction won't abort when scheduling
is needed. Correct the relevant comment accordingly.
