From 0064b0f1fff7316e1261d72d318f338ee8fbfd2d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "zhangyi (F)" Date: Mon, 17 Feb 2020 19:27:06 +0800 Subject: jbd2: improve comments about freeing data buffers whose page mapping is NULL commit 780f66e59231fcf882f36c63f287252ee47cc75a upstream. Improve comments in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() to describe why we don't need to clear the buffer_mapped bit for freeing file mapping buffers whose page mapping is NULL.
