Subject: mm/vmalloc: update __vmalloc_node_range() documentation
X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=128956227c9d036d5810c54b1f5fc712f1b2996f;p=users%2Fjedix%2Flinux-maple.git

mm/vmalloc: update __vmalloc_node_range() documentation

__vmalloc() now supports non-blocking flags such as GFP_ATOMIC and
GFP_NOWAIT.  Update the documentation accordingly.
