Does anyone use kernel-doc generated documentation?
I'm serious.

The kernel-doc generated documentation is available on the web, and I
suspect a number of people find it when they run Google Searches.

The danger of course is that they might get documentation which is out
of sync with the upstream kernel (or whatever kernel they are
developing against), but I know I've found it useful on occasion.

Yeah, they are outdated like those sites hyperlinking old kernels,
polluting google searches.

The thing is largely redundant.

Just opened random file, random comment:

/**
 * finish_open - finish opening a file
 * @file: file pointer                   <====
 * @dentry: pointer to dentry      <====
 * @open: open callback
 * @opened: state of open
 *

int finish_open(struct file *file, struct dentry *dentry,
                int (*open)(struct inode *, struct file *),
                int *opened)
