[PATCH v2 1/2] mm/compaction: correct comment of candidate pfn in fast_isolate_freepages
Posted by Kemeng Shi 2 years, 6 months ago
If no preferred one was not found, we will use candidate page with maximum
pfn > min_pfn which is saved in high_pfn. Correct "minimum" to "maximum
candidate" in comment.

Yes, the 'minimum' can be confused. At least to me, it looks good.
