  * Freeing policy:
- * When policy is MPOL_BIND v.zonelist is kmalloc'ed and must be kfree'd.
- * All other policies don't have any external state. mpol_free() handles this.
+ * Mempolicy objects are reference counted.  A mempolicy will be freed when
+ * mpol_free() decrements the reference count to zero.
  *
  * Copying policy objects:
- * For MPOL_BIND the zonelist must be always duplicated. mpol_clone() does this.
+ * mpol_copy() allocates a new mempolicy and copies the specified mempolicy
+ * to the new storage.  The reference count of the new object is initialized
+ * to 1, representing the caller of mpol_copy().
