[PATCH 2/3] docs/core-api/mm: fix user memory accessors formatting

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The descriptions of userspace memory access functions had minor issues with
formatting that made kernel-doc unable to properly detect the
function/macro names and the return value sections:

./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:80: info: Scanning doc for
./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:139: info: Scanning doc for

./arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c:69: warning: No description found for return
value of 'clear_user'
./arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c:78: info: Scanning doc for
./arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c:90: warning: No description found for return
value of '__clear_user'

Fix the formatting.
