From 52414d3302577bb60e4ba3c21b7957da7c7a8d21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Ryabinin Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2018 15:07:00 -0700 Subject: kvfree(): fix misleading comment vfree() might sleep if called not in interrupt context. So does kvfree() too. Fix misleading kvfree()'s comment about allowed context.
