Just sent a third version of the script. It should now be able to check if the RST files have the exported symbols as well: <snip> $ scripts/check_docs_external_symbols lib/debugobjects.c lib/debugobjects.c: export symbol debug_object_active_state not documented at: Documentation/core-api/debug-objects.rst </snip> It also checks if an exported symbol has duplicated entries at kernel-doc as well. The check logic for it is somewhat complex. so, I won't doubt that there are some other hidden bugs. Also, as right now, the script is slow, if one wants to run it for the entire Kernel. Thanks, Mauro
