Revision 906f9cdfc2a0800f13683f9e4ebdfd08c12ee81b authored by Hugh Dickins on 30 November 2018, 22:10:13 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 30 November 2018, 22:56:14 UTC
The term "freeze" is used in several ways in the kernel, and in mm it
has the particular meaning of forcing page refcount temporarily to 0.
freeze_page() is just too confusing a name for a function that unmaps a
page: rename it unmap_page(), and rename unfreeze_page() remap_page().
Went to change the mention of freeze_page() added later in mm/rmap.c,
but found it to be incorrect: ordinary page reclaim reaches there too;
but the substance of the comment still seems correct, so edit it down.
