Subject: [PATCH 15/15] mm/swap: fix comment about swap extent
Date: Mon, 9 May 2022 21:14:16 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220509131416.17553-16-linmiaohe@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220509131416.17553-1-linmiaohe@huawei.com>
Since commit 4efaceb1c5f8 ("mm, swap: use rbtree for swap_extent"), rbtree
is used for swap extent. Also curr_swap_extent is removed at that time.
Update the corresponding comment.
