[RFC PATCH 0/2] kernel-doc: Do not pre-process comments

[Anna-Maria Behnsen]

Hi,

this is a RFC as I'm not quite sure if this change has some subtle side
effect.

Commit 654784284430 ("kernel-doc: bugfix - multi-line macros") introduces
pre-processing of backslashes at the end of a line to not break multi-line
macros. This pre-processing is done independently if it is inside code or
inside a comment.

This illustation of a hierarchy as a code block inside a kernel-doc comment
has a backslash at the end of the line:

---8<---
/**
 * DOC: hierarchy
 *
 *                    Top Level
 *                /               \
 *         Child A                 Child B
 */
---8<---

It will be displayed as:

---8<---
	     Top Level
	 /                *        Child A                 Child B
---8<---


As I asked for a solution on the linux-doc mailing list, I got some
suggestions with workarounds and also got the suggestion by Matthew Wilcox
to adapt the backslash preprocessing in kernel-doc script. I tested it and
fixed then the newly produced warnings which are covered in the first
patch. The processing of the documentation seems to work - but please don't
rely only on my tests as I'm not a perl neither a kernel-doc expert.

Thanks,

	Anna-Maria

[RFC PATCH 1/2] drm/vram-helper: Fix 'multi-line' kernel-doc comments

[Anna-Maria Behnsen]

Reformat lines in kernel-doc comments, which make use of the backslash at
the end to suggest it is a multi-line comment. kernel-doc is able to
process e.g. the short description of a function properly, even if it is
across two lines.

No functional change.

[RFC PATCH 2/2] scripts/kernel-doc: Do not process backslash lines in comments

[Anna-Maria Behnsen]

Commit 654784284430 ("kernel-doc: bugfix - multi-line macros") introduces
pre-processing of backslashes at the end of a line to not break multi-line
macros. This pre-processing is done independently if it is inside code or
inside a comment.

This illustation of a hierarchy as a code block inside a kernel-doc comment
has a backslash at the end of the line:

---8<---
/**
 * DOC: hierarchy
 *
 *                    Top Level
 *                /               \
 *         Child A                 Child B
 */
---8<---

It will be displayed as:

---8<---
	     Top Level
	 /                *        Child A                 Child B
---8<---

To prevent this, do the pre-processing only for lines which are no
comments, e.g. do not start with ' *'.

Turns out it does, unfortunately.  Consider a hunk like this:

The change to the description line is fine, it handles that.  But the
same is not true within the arguments; kernel-doc seems to simply drop
the continuation lines entirely, for some strange reason.

I think it's fair to call that a bug, and it shouldn't be *that* hard to
fix.  But it involves wading fairly deep into the Perl swamp, I may not
get there right away.

Thanks,

Actually, I respectfully suggest that you ignore me completely...I'm
having kind of a scattered day.  In truth, this all seems good.

There is, however, one subtle little change.  Consider this from the
comment-cleanup patch:

> /**
> - * drm_gem_vram_plane_helper_prepare_fb() - \
> - *	Implements &struct drm_plane_helper_funcs.prepare_fb
> + * drm_gem_vram_plane_helper_prepare_fb() - Implements &struct
> + *					    drm_plane_helper_funcs.prepare_fb

Current kernel-doc preserves the "*" on the continuation line, with the
result that the description is rendered as an itemized list.  You can
see it at:

  https://docs.kernel.org/gpu/drm-mm.html?highlight=drm_gem_vram_plane_helper_prepare_fb#c.drm_gem_vram_plane_helper_prepare_fb

It's a subtle thing that doesn't really affect the readability, but even
so, somebody clearly ran into it at some point:

> /**
> - * drm_gem_vram_driver_dumb_create() - \
> -	Implements &struct drm_driver.dumb_create
> + * drm_gem_vram_driver_dumb_create() - Implements &struct drm_driver.dumb_create

A number of the existing comments leave out the leading "*" on the
continuation lines, presumably to work around this weirdness.  With your
patch, this little problem goes away - a little unadvertised extra
benefit! :)

The kernel-doc change should really go together with the DRM change.
I'm happy to carry both with an ack from DRMland or have the kernel-doc
patch go through the DRM tree, whichever is easiest.

Thanks,

jon
