Subject: [PATCH 00/14] More kernel-doc patches
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 10:11:00 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1773823995.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> (raw)
Hi Jon,
This series comes after:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/cover.1773770483.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org/
It basically contains patches I submitted before on a 40+ patch series,
but were less relevant, plus a couple of other minor fixes:
- patch 1 improves one of the CTokenizer unit test, fixing some
potential issues on it;
- patches 2 and 3 contain some improvement/fixes for Sphinx
Python autodoc extension. They basically document c_lex.py;
- The remaining patches:
- create a new class for kernel-doc config;
- fix some internal representations of KdocItem;
- add unit tests for KernelDoc() parser class;
- add support to output KdocItem in YAML, which is a
machine-readable output for all documented kAPI.
None of the patches should affect man or html output.
Before you complain about the diffstats, changes at kdoc
itself aren't big:

e.g. 155 new LoC for the new yaml file output and 123 new LoC for
the other cleanups/fixes.
The remaining ones are at the YAML files and at unittests.
