Subject[PATCH mm v4 07/39] mm: clarify __GFP_ZEROTAGS comment
Date
From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com>

__GFP_ZEROTAGS is intended as an optimization: if memory is zeroed during
allocation, it's possible to set memory tags at the same time with little
performance impact.

Clarify this intention of __GFP_ZEROTAGS in the comment.
