Hi Heng Qi,

The above seems to result in make htmldocs issuing the following warnings:

 .../net_dim:175: ./include/linux/dim.h:244: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
 .../net_dim:175: ./include/linux/dim.h:244: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
 .../net_dim:175: ./include/linux/dim.h:247: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
 .../net_dim:175: ./include/linux/dim.h:247: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.

I suggest the following alternative:

 * @rx_dim_work: Rx worker called after dim decision
 * @tx_dim_work: Tx worker called after dim decision

Exercised using Sphinx 7.2.6

It's a minor nit, but here goes: please consider using reverse xmas tree
order - longest line to shortest - for local variable declarations in
Networking code.

In this case, I appreciate that it's not strictly possible without
introducing more than one IS_ENABLED condition, which seems worse.
So, as that condition breaks the visual flow, what I suggest in this
case is having a second block of local variable declarations, like this:

	const struct coalesce_reply_data *data = COALESCE_REPDATA(reply_base);
	const struct kernel_ethtool_coalesce *kcoal = &data->kernel_coalesce;
	const struct ethtool_coalesce *coal = &data->coalesce;
	u32 supported = data->supported_params;                  

#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DIMLIB)
	struct dim_irq_moder *moder = dev->irq_moder;
	struct net_device *dev = req_base->dev;
	u8 coal_flags;
	int ret;
#endif 

Or better still, if it can be done cleanly, moving all the IS_ENABLED()
code in this function into a separate function, with an no-op
implementation in the case that CONFIG_DIMLIB is not enabled. In general
I'd recommend that approach over sprinkling IS_ENABLED or #ifdef inside
functions. Because in my experience it tends to lead to more readable code.

In any case, the following tool is helpful for isolating
reverse xmas tree issues.
