Subject: [PATCH 1/2] docs: kernel-parameters: Update to reflect the current default size of atomic pool
Date:   Thu, 24 Jun 2021 13:20:09 +0800
Message-Id: <20210624052010.5676-2-bhe@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20210624052010.5676-1-bhe@redhat.com>
References: <20210624052010.5676-1-bhe@redhat.com>
Precedence: bulk

Since commit 1d659236fb43("dma-pool: scale the default DMA coherent pool
size with memory capacity"), the default size of atomic pool has been
changed to take by scaling with system memory capacity. So update the
document in kerenl-parameter.txt accordingly.
