I freely confess that I have absolutely no idea what it doesn't like.
It is complaining about this header comment, correct?
/**
* kmem_last_alloc_stack - Get return address and stack for last allocation
* @object: object for which to find last-allocation return address.
* @stackp: %NULL or pointer to location to place return-address stack.
* @nstackp: maximum number of return addresses that may be stored.
*
* If the pointer references a slab-allocated object and if sufficient
* debugging is enabled, return the return address for the corresponding
* allocation. If stackp is non-%NULL in %CONFIG_STACKTRACE kernels running
* the slub allocator, also copy the return-address stack into @stackp,
* limited by @nstackp. Otherwise, return %NULL or an appropriate error
* code using %ERR_PTR().
*
* Return: return address from last allocation, %NULL or negative error code.

Thanx, Paul
