It's just scripts/kernel-doc, and it's checking if the kdoc is _valid_, your call if you want to add kdoc, just a comment, or nothing at all. > At the end, it looks like CI false alarm. > > drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/pci_irq.c:81: warning: Function parameter or member 'dev' not described in 'mlx5_set_msix_vec_count' > drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/pci_irq.c:81: warning: Function parameter or member 'function_id' not described in 'mlx5_set_msix_vec_count' > drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/pci_irq.c:81: warning: Function parameter or member 'msix_vec_count' not described in 'mlx5_set_msix_vec_count' > New warnings added > > The function mlx5_set_msix_vec_count() is documented. > +/** > + * mlx5_set_msix_vec_count() - Set dynamically allocated MSI-X to the VF > + * @dev - PF to work on > + * @function_id - internal PCI VF function id > + * @msix_vec_count - Number of MSI-X to set > + **/ > +int mlx5_set_msix_vec_count(struct mlx5_core_dev *dev, int function_id, > + int msix_vec_count) > https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210114103140.866141-5-leon@xxxxxxxxxx/ AFAIU that's not valid kdoc, I _think_ you need to replace ' -' with ':' for arguments (not my rules).
