From a158aeaf5bb5b014240b360693751476aca7440b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacob Keller Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2017 23:44:27 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] i40e: update comment explaining where FDIR buffers are freed The original comment implies that the only location where the raw_packet buffer will be freed is in i40e_clean_tx_ring() which is incorrect. In fact this isn't even the normal case. Update the comment explaining where the memory is freed.
