Subject: [for-next][PATCH 11/31] ftrace: Comment that ftrace_func_mapper is freed with
free_ftrace_hash()
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@...dmis.org>
The structure ftrace_func_mapper only contains a single field and that is
a ftrace_hash. It is used to abstract it out from a normal hash to control
users of how it gets modified.
The freeing of a ftrace_func_mapper structure is:
free_ftrace_hash(&mapper->hash);
Without context, this looks like a bug. It should be commented that it is
not a bug and it is freed this way.
