From 3b0ba54d5f8ff60553c01d3ec3c607ab7bb3b452 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Suren Baghdasaryan Date: Wed, 3 Jul 2024 10:42:25 -0700 Subject: mm: add comments for allocation helpers explaining why they are macros MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A number of allocation helper functions were converted into macros to account them at the call sites. Add a comment for each converted allocation helper explaining why it has to be a macro and why we typecast the return value wherever required. The patch also moves acpi_os_acquire_object() closer to other allocation helpers to group them together under the same comment. The patch has no functional changes.
