Subject: [for-next][PATCH 01/20] tracing: Add kerneldoc to trace_event_buffer_reserve()
Date: Sun, 08 Feb 2026 21:20:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260209022052.199521041@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20260209022026.627895421@kernel.org
From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
Add a appropriate kerneldoc to trace_event_buffer_reserve() to make it
easier to understand how that function is used.
