[PATCH] module.h: Document klp_modinfo struct members
Posted by Marcos Paulo de Souza 2 years, 7 months ago
The struct members description can be found on
Documentation/livepatch/module-elf-format.rst, but for a developer it's
easier to search for such information looking at the struct definition.

Why not just embrace kdoc and then refer to it in the rst files?
