Merge branch 'fix-several-bad-kernel-doc-markups'
Mauro Carvalho Chehab says: ==================== Fix several bad kernel-doc markups Kernel-doc has always be limited to a probably bad documented rule: The kernel-doc markups should appear *imediatelly before* the function or data structure that it documents. On other words, if a C file would contain something like this: /** * foo - function foo * @args: foo args */ static inline void bar(int args); /** * bar - function bar * @args: foo args */ static inline void foo(void *args); The output (in ReST format) will be: .. c:function:: void bar (int args) function foo **Parameters** ``int args`` foo args .. c:function:: void foo (void *args) function bar **Parameters** ``void *args`` foo args Which is clearly a wrong result. Before this changeset, not even a warning is produced on such cases. As placing such markups just before the documented data is a common practice, on most cases this is fine. However, as patches touch things, identifiers may be renamed, and people may forget to update the kernel-doc markups to follow such changes. This has been happening for quite a while, as there are lots of files with kernel-doc problems. This series address those issues and add a file at the end that will enforce that the identifier will match the kernel-doc markup, avoiding this problem from keep happening as time goes by. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/cover.1605521731.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
