The description below is fine, but kernel-doc will use "VM_FAULT code" as
the "short description" and the explanation will be used as "long
description".
So either replace "VM_FAULT code" with something like "page fault handler
return codes" or put the long explanation next to 'enum vm_fault_reason':
/**
* enum vm_fault_reason - page fault handlers return a bitmask of these
* values ...
* ...
*/
Please take a look at "Structure, union, and enumeration documentation" in
Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst [1].
