[PATCH] mm/zsmalloc: fix comment in zsmalloc

From: Yisheng Xie <hidden>
Date: 2017-02-09 03:27:37

The class index and fullness group are not encoded in
(first)page->mapping any more, after commit 3783689a1aa8 ("zsmalloc:
introduce zspage structure"). Instead, they are store in struct zspage.

no objections from my side.

a side note - may be we don't need this comment at all.
the code looks like this:

/*
 * A zspage's class index and fullness group
 * are stored in struct zspage.
 */
#define FULLNESS_BITS	2
#define CLASS_BITS	8
#define ISOLATED_BITS	3
#define MAGIC_VAL_BITS	8

struct zspage {
	struct {
		unsigned int fullness:FULLNESS_BITS;
		unsigned int class:CLASS_BITS;
		unsigned int isolated:ISOLATED_BITS;
		unsigned int magic:MAGIC_VAL_BITS;
	};
	unsigned int inuse;
	unsigned int freeobj;
	struct page *first_page;
	struct list_head list; /* fullness list */
#ifdef CONFIG_COMPACTION
	rwlock_t lock;
#endif
};


so, basically, the comment just "repeats" the next 5 lines.
but, like I said, that's just a side note.
