Subject: [PATCH] block: update docs for bio and bvec_iter
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 18:17:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260212-bvec_iter-docs-v1-1-888607db0ddc@kernel.org> (raw)

The documentation for bio and bvec_iter refers to a vector named bvl_vec.
This does not exis. Update the documentation comment with the correct name.
