[PATCH v2] mm: Remove an ambiguous sentence from kmap_local_folio() kdocs
From: Fabio M. De Francesco
Date: Thu Jan 05 2023 - 07:04:52 EST
In the kdocs of kmap_local_folio() there is a an ambiguous sentence
which suggests to use this API "only when really necessary".
On the contrary, since kmap() and kmap_atomic() are deprecated, both
kmap_local_folio(), as well as kmap_local_page(), must be preferred
to the previous ones.
Therefore, remove the above-mentioned sentence exactly how it has
previously been done for the kmap_local_page() kdocs in
commit 72f1c55adf70 ("highmem: delete a sentence from kmap_local_page() kdocs").
