[PATCH v3 06/24] fs: Update function docstring for simple_write_end()

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

 



Shinx emits a warning due to an extra function parameter in the current
function docstring for simple_write_end().  While we are fixing this
warning we might as well clean up the whole function docstring for this
function.

The current member descriptions are readable in text and also ok in
HTML.  When vfs.txt is converted to use RST format these member
descriptions could be improved with a reference to struct
address_space_operations docs in that file.

Update and cleanup docstring for simple_write_end()
