[PATCH v2] x86/Xen: correct commentary and parameter naming of xen_exchange_memory()
Posted by Jan Beulich 2 days, 13 hours ago
As documented in comments in struct xen_memory_exchange, the input to the
hypercall is a set of MFNs which are to be removed from the domain, plus a
set of PFNs where the newly allocated MFNs are to appear. Present comment
and parameter naming don't correctly reflect that.

v2: "fns_out" => "fns_inout". Mention parameter names in comment.
