From ac9380f6b8a6a908a9df023bf8a2bcdaf9d2d6cb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roman Gushchin Date: Wed, 7 Apr 2021 20:57:31 -0700 Subject: percpu: fix a comment about the chunks ordering Since the commit 3e54097beb22 ("percpu: manage chunks based on contig_bits instead of free_bytes") chunks are sorted based on the size of the biggest continuous free area instead of the total number of free bytes. Update the corresponding comment to reflect this.
