The patch titled kernel-doc: fix leading dot in man-mode output has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was kernel-doc-fix-leading-dot-in-man-mode-output.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: kernel-doc: fix leading dot in man-mode output From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx> If a parameter description begins with a '.', this indicates a "request" for "man" mode output (*roff), so it needs special handling. Problem case is in include/asm-i386/atomic.h for function atomic_add_unless(): * @u: ...unless v is equal to u. This parameter description is currently not printed in man mode output.
