The patch titled kernel-doc: drop leading space in sections has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kernel-doc-drop-leading-space-in-sections.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: kernel-doc: drop leading space in sections From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Drop leading space of kernel-doc section contents. "Section" data (contents) are split from the section header (e.g., Note: below is a section header: * Note: list_empty on entry does not return true after this, the entry is * in an undefined state. ). Currently the data/contents begins with a space and is left that way, which causes it to look bad when printed (in text mode; see example below), so just remove the leading space. Note: list_empty on entry does not return true after this, the entry is in an undefined state.
