Subject: [PATCH v1 3/3] mm: fixup documentation regarding pte_numa() and PROT_NUMA
Date:   Thu, 25 Aug 2022 18:46:59 +0200
Message-Id: <20220825164659.89824-4-david@redhat.com>
In-Reply-To: <20220825164659.89824-1-david@redhat.com>
References: <20220825164659.89824-1-david@redhat.com>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Precedence: bulk

pte_numa() no longer exists -- replaced by pte_protnone() -- and PROT_NUMA
probably never existed: MM_CP_PROT_NUMA also ends up using PROT_NONE.

Let's fixup the doc.
