Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] tracing: probes: Add a kerneldoc for traceprobe_parse_event_name()
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2025 07:02:35 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <175322175536.44400.179953626110801411.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <175322168606.44400.9155291012158349647.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Since traceprobe_parse_event_name() is a bit complicated, add a
kerneldoc for explaining the behavior.
Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
