The patch titled kernel-doc: make parameter description indentation uniform has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kernel-doc-make-parameter-description-indentation-uniform.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: make parameter description indentation uniform From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxx> - In parameter descriptions, strip all whitespace between the parameter name (e.g., @len) and its description so that the description is indented uniformly in text and man page modes. Previously, spaces or tabs (which are used for cleaner source code viewing) affected the produced output in a negative way. Before (man mode): to Destination address, in user space. from Source address, in kernel space. n Number of bytes to copy. After (man mode): to Destination address, in user space. from Source address, in kernel space. n Number of bytes to copy. - Fix/clarify a few function description comments.
