Subject: [PATCH] mm: Document GRUB internal memory management structures
|
|
|
|
I spent more than a trivial quantity of time figuring out pre_size and
|
|
whether a memory region's size contains the header cell or not.
|
|
|
|
Document the meanings of all the properties. Hopefully now no-one else
|
|
has to figure it out!
