Subject: mm/page_alloc.c: fix comment in __get_free_pages()
X-Git-Url: http://git.maquefel.me/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=48128397b04679717cfd419d55ec86456b84eb61;p=linux.git

mm/page_alloc.c: fix comment in __get_free_pages()

__get_free_pages() will return a virtual address, but it is not just a
32-bit address, for example on a 64-bit system.  And this comment really
confuses new readers of mm.
