Subject: [PATCH 1-fix/4] Fix extend notifier_call_chain to count nr_calls made.
Hi Andrew,
Please apply the following patch on top of
extend-notifier_call_chain-to-count-nr_calls-made.patch.
This patch incorporates the Randy's suggestions.
thanks,
gautham.
This patch
* Corrects the type of nr_calls to int * from unsigned int * in
notifier_call_chain and it's subsequent callers.
* Converts comments of notifier_call_chain to be compliant with kernel-docs
standards.
*Reverts the changes made to the comments of other *_notifier_call_chain.
*Adds parameter names to a few functions prototypes in
include/linux/notifier.h .
Depends on patch: extend-notifier_call_chain-to-count-nr_calls-made.patch
