Subject[PATCH mm v3 18/38] kasan, vmalloc: drop outdated VM_KASAN comment
Date
From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

The comment about VM_KASAN in include/linux/vmalloc.c is outdated.
VM_KASAN is currently only used to mark vm_areas allocated for
kernel modules when CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC is disabled.

Drop the comment.

- * VM_KASAN is used slightly differently depending on CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC.
- *
- * If IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KASAN_VMALLOC), VM_KASAN is set on a vm_struct after
- * shadow memory has been mapped. It's used to handle allocation errors so that
- * we don't try to poison shadow on free if it was never allocated.
- *
- * Otherwise, VM_KASAN is set for kasan_module_alloc() allocations and used to
- * determine which allocations need the module shadow freed.
