From: Kees Cook <keescook@xxxxxxxxxxxx> kernel-doc emits a warning on struct_group_tagged() if you describe your struct group member: include/net/libeth/rx.h:69: warning: Excess struct member 'fp' description in 'libeth_fq' The code: /** * struct libeth_fq - structure representing a buffer queue * @fp: hotpath part of the structure * @pp: &page_pool for buffer management [...] */ struct libeth_fq { struct_group_tagged(libeth_fq_fp, fp, struct page_pool *pp; [...] ); When a struct_group_tagged() is encountered, we need to build a `struct TAG NAME;` from it, so that it will be treated as a valid embedded struct. Decouple the regex and do the replacement there. As far as I can see, this doesn't produce any new warnings on the current mainline tree.
