Ah, indeed... and git blame makes me sad ;) I _think_ that 29dedee0e693a updated this comment without any thinking, but today I can't recall. In any case, today this nothing to do with mem_cgroup_charge(). Not sure __replace_page() is correct (in this respect) when it returns -EAGAIN but this is another story. > If we don't actually need writer > mmap_lock, we should probably update at least that comment.
