But a few things to ponder first... - If you convert it to a literal block, the asterisks can remain, making for a less intrusive patch. - I was wondering if we should just use a kernel-doc directive to pull the comment directly from the source, but investigation quickly showed that the "overview comment" doesn't actually exist in anything close to the quoted form. See mm/memory-failure.c. Given that, and things like references to support in "upcoming Intel CPUs", I suspect that this document is pretty seriously out of date and needs some more in-depth attention. If you're playing in this area and feel like it, updating the document for real would be much appreciated...:) Thanks, jon
