The patch titled Subject: lib/stackdepot: move documentation comments to stackdepot.h has been added to the -mm mm-nonmm-unstable branch. Its filename is lib-stackdepot-move-documentation-comments-to-stackdepoth.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/lib-stackdepot-move-documentation-comments-to-stackdepoth.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-nonmm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib/stackdepot: move documentation comments to stackdepot.h Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 22:16:06 +0100 Move all interface- and usage-related documentation comments to include/linux/stackdepot.h. It makes sense to have them in the header where they are available to the interface users.
