From: Lorenzo Stoakes (Oracle) Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2026 22:39:29 +0000 (+0000) Subject: mm: document vm_operations_struct->open the same as close() X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=827e97cf4bf59e9a72bcec37944bcebb3139a457;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git mm: document vm_operations_struct->open the same as close() Describe when the operation is invoked and the context in which it is invoked, matching the description already added for vm_op->close(). While we're here, update all outdated references to an 'area' field for VMAs to the more consistent 'vma'.
