My concern is the same. The problem you're seeing with kernel-doc warning about undocumented fields / parameters is due to people not running kernel-doc -none. So I'm proposing this: diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.build b/scripts/Makefile.build index 82e3fb19fdaf..52f57c0c5227 100644 --- a/scripts/Makefile.build +++ b/scripts/Makefile.build @@ -100,11 +100,9 @@ else ifeq ($(KBUILD_CHECKSRC),2) cmd_force_checksrc = $(CHECK) $(CHECKFLAGS) $(c_flags) $< endif -ifneq ($(KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN),) - cmd_checkdoc = $(srctree)/scripts/kernel-doc -none $(KDOCFLAGS) \ +cmd_checkdoc = $(srctree)/scripts/kernel-doc -none $(KDOCFLAGS) \ $(if $(findstring 2, $(KBUILD_EXTRA_WARN)), -Wall) \ $< -endif # Compile C sources (.c) # --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now everybody runs kernel-doc -none on every build and you don't get to see that problem any more.
