- * This function handles overlap of an address interval with existing
- * struct svm_ranges for applying new attributes. This may require
- * splitting existing struct svm_ranges. All changes should be applied to
- * the range_list and interval tree transactionally. If any split operation
- * fails, the entire update fails. Therefore the existing overlapping
- * svm_ranges are cloned and the original svm_ranges left unchanged. If the
- * transaction succeeds, the modified clones are added and the originals
- * freed. Otherwise the clones are removed and the old svm_ranges remain.
+ * If the transaction succeeds, the caller can update and insert clones and
+ * new ranges, then free the originals.
  *
- * Context: The caller must hold svms->lock
+ * Otherwise the caller can free the clones and new ranges, while the old
