Patch series "Cleanup free_pages() misuse", v3. free_pages() is supposed to be called when we only have a virtual address. __free_pages() is supposed to be called when we have a page. There are a number of callers that use page_address() to get a page's virtual address then call free_pages() on it when they should just call __free_pages() directly. Add kernel-docs for free_pages() to help callers better understand which function they should be calling, and replace the obvious cases of misuse. This patch (of 7): Add kernel-docs to free_pages(). This will help callers understand when to use it instead of __free_pages().
