Will Deacon c365ff7815 mm/mremap: Add comment explaining the untagging behaviour of mremap()
commit b2a84de2a2deb76a6a51609845341f508c518c03 upstream.

Commit dcde237319e6 ("mm: Avoid creating virtual address aliases in
brk()/mmap()/mremap()") changed mremap() so that only the 'old' address
is untagged, leaving the 'new' address in the form it was passed from
userspace. This prevents the unexpected creation of aliasing virtual
mappings in userspace, but looks a bit odd when you read the code.

Add a comment justifying the untagging behaviour in mremap().

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
