From 2123000b01792e182fc4122fdb612ed641f3385e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Herrmann Date: Sun, 25 May 2014 14:34:08 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] drm/gem: replace misleading comment shmem supports page-relocations during swapin since quite some time. It was implemented in: commit bde05d1ccd512696b09db9dd2e5f33ad19152605 Author: Hugh Dickins Date: Tue May 29 15:06:38 2012 -0700 shmem: replace page if mapping excludes its zone The gem-comment about wrongly placed DMA32 pages is no longer valid. Replace it with a proper comment but keep the BUG_ON() to verify correct shmem behavior.
