From: Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2025 07:19:46 +0000 (+0300) Subject: memblock: fix kernel-doc for MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT X-Git-Url: https://www.infradead.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b3dcc9d1d806fb1e175f85978713eef868531da4;p=users%2Fjedix%2Flinux-maple.git memblock: fix kernel-doc for MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT The kernel-doc description of MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT and memblock_reserved_mark_noinit() do not accurately describe their functionality. Expand their kernel doc to make it clear that the user of MEMBLOCK_RSRV_NOINIT is responsible to properly initialize the struct pages for such regions and add more details about effects of using this flag.
