From 0c3697118bb4f0991b11dafea038e4457813cae0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rafael Aquini Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 15:01:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt: add /proc/pid/numa_maps interface explanation snippet Add a small section to proc.txt doc in order to document its /proc/pid/numa_maps interface. It does not introduce any functional changes, just documentation.
