[PATCH v3] virtio: Update kerneldoc in drivers/virtio/virtio_dma_buf.c
Posted by jiang.peng9@zte.com.cn 2 months, 3 weeks ago
From: Peng Jiang <jiang.peng9@zte.com.cn>

Fix kernel-doc descriptions in virtio_dma_buf.c to fix W=1 warnings:

drivers/virtio/virtio_dma_buf.c:41 function parameter 'dma_buf' not described in 'virtio_dma_buf_attach'
drivers/virtio/virtio_dma_buf.c:41 function parameter 'attach' not described in 'virtio_dma_buf_attach'

Most people write "dmabuf".

And here it's different for some reason.

and here in a third form.

I'm sorry this is just empty of content.
I can not shake the feeling this is AI written.
If we wanted AI to document all APIs in this way, I'd just script it.

This one is ok.

Thanks for pointing this out. In virtio_dma_buf.c specifically, "dma-buf" appears more frequently throughout the file.
 For consistency within this file, I'll keep using "dma-buf" in these docs.

Thanks for catching the inconsistency. Here are the standardized parameter descriptions:
  @dma_buf: dma-buf being attached to a device
  @attach: Attachment metadata for the dma-buf association

I‘ll remove the generic description.
