Or you could kernel-doc it ...

/**
 * struct interval_tree_span_iter - Find used and unused spans.
 * @start_hole: ...
 * @start_used: ...
 ...
 *
 * This iterator travels over spans in an interval tree. It does not return
 * nodes but classifies each span as either a hole, where no nodes intersect,
 * or as used, which is fully covered by nodes. Each iteration step
 * alternates between hole and used until the entire range is covered. The
 * returned spans always fully cover the requested range.
 *
 * The iterator is greedy, it always returns the largest span possible,
 * consolidating all consecutive nodes.
