  * drm_gem_get_pages - helper to allocate backing pages for a GEM object
  * from shmem
  * @obj: obj in question
- * @gfpmask: gfp mask of requested pages
+ *
+ * This reads the page-array of the shmem-backing storage of the given gem
+ * object. An array of pages is returned. If a page is not allocated or
+ * swapped-out, this will allocate/swap-in the required pages. Note that the
+ * whole object is covered by the page-array and pinned in memory.
+ *
+ * Use drm_gem_put_pages() to release the array and unpin all pages.
+ *
+ * This uses the GFP-mask set on the shmem-mapping (see mapping_set_gfp_mask()).
+ * If you require other GFP-masks, you have to do those allocations yourself.
+ *
+ * Note that you are not allowed to change gfp-zones during runtime. That is,
+ * shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() must be called with the same gfp_zone(gfp) as
+ * set during initialization. If you have special zone constraints, set them
+ * after drm_gem_init_object() via mapping_set_gfp_mask(). shmem-core takes care
+ * to keep pages in the required zone during swap-in.
