From 30d3f01191d305c99e8b3f8b1b328fc852270c95 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Hocko Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2022 14:07:04 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] mm/vmalloc: be more explicit about supported gfp flags. Commit b7d90e7a5ea8 ("mm/vmalloc: be more explicit about supported gfp flags") has been merged prematurely without the rest of the series and without addressed review feedback from Neil. Fix that up now. Only wording is changed slightly.
