[PATCH 06/31] mm: clarify __GFP_ZEROTAGS comment

From: andrey . konovalov
Date: Tue Nov 30 2021 - 16:43:45 EST


From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx>

__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.
