Hence return at the very beginning with false in this case. These two paragraphs are talking about printf() interface, while patch has nothing to do with it. Please, rephrase in a way that it doesn't refer to the particular callers. Better to mention them in the corresponding printf() patch(es). ... > * prepend_name - prepend a pathname in front of current buffer pointer > - * @buffer: buffer pointer > - * @buflen: allocated length of the buffer > + * @p: prepend buffer which contains buffer pointer and allocated length > * @name: name string and length qstr structure Indentation issue btw, can be fixed in the same patch. > * > * With RCU path tracing, it may race with d_move().

This helper is typical for debugging purposes. Seems you ignored my comment, or forget to test, or compile test with kernel doc validator enabled doesn't show any issues. If it's the latter, we have to fix kernel doc validator.
