Subject: [PATCH v6 00/16] Fix several bad kernel-doc markups
Hi Jon,
This series have three parts:
1) 10 remaining fixup patches from the series I sent back on Dec, 1st:
parport: fix a kernel-doc markup
rapidio: fix kernel-doc a markup
fs: fix kernel-doc markups
pstore/zone: fix a kernel-doc markup
firmware: stratix10-svc: fix kernel-doc markups
connector: fix a kernel-doc markup
lib/crc7: fix a kernel-doc markup
memblock: fix kernel-doc markups
w1: fix a kernel-doc markup
selftests: kselftest_harness.h: partially fix kernel-doc markups
2) The patch adding the new check to ensure that the kernel-doc
markup will be used for the right declaration;
3) 5 additional patches, produced against next-20210114 with new
problems detected after the original series:
net: tip: fix a couple kernel-doc markups
net: cfg80211: fix a kerneldoc markup
reset: core: fix a kernel-doc markup
drm: drm_crc: fix a kernel-doc markup
platform/surface: aggregator: fix a kernel-doc markup
It probably makes sense to merge at least the first 11 patches
via the doc tree, as they should apply cleanly there, and
having the last 5 patches merged via each maintainer's tree.
-
Kernel-doc has always be limited to a probably bad documented
rule:
The kernel-doc markups should appear *imediatelly before* the
function or data structure that it documents.
On other words, if a C file would contain something like this:
/**
* foo - function foo
* @args: foo args
*/
static inline void bar(int args);
/**
* bar - function bar
* @args: foo args
*/
static inline void foo(void *args);
The output (in ReST format) will be:
.. c:function:: void bar (int args)
function foo
**Parameters**
``int args``
foo args
.. c:function:: void foo (void *args)
function bar
**Parameters**
``void *args``
foo args
Which is clearly a wrong result. Before this changeset,
not even a warning is produced on such cases.
As placing such markups just before the documented
data is a common practice, on most cases this is fine.
However, as patches touch things, identifiers may be
renamed, and people may forget to update the kernel-doc
markups to follow such changes.
This has been happening for quite a while, as there are
lots of files with kernel-doc problems.
This series address those issues and add a file at the
end that will enforce that the identifier will match the
kernel-doc markup, avoiding this problem from
keep happening as time goes by.
This series is based on current upstream tree.
@maintainers: feel free to pick the patches and
apply them directly on your trees, as all patches on
this series are independent from the other ones.

v6:
- rebased on the top of next-20210114 and added a few extra fixes
v5:
- The completion.h patch was replaced by another one which drops
an obsolete macro;
- Some typos got fixed and review tags got added;
- Dropped patches that were already merged at linux-next.
v4:
- Patches got rebased and got some acks.
