Subject: [PATCH] bpf: Document cfi_stubs and owner fields in struct bpf_struct_ops
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 11:54:31 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119062430.997648-2-nirbhay.lkd@gmail.com> (raw)
Add missing kernel-doc documentation for the cfi_stubs and owner
fields in struct bpf_struct_ops to fix the following warnings:
Warning: include/linux/bpf.h:1931 struct member 'cfi_stubs' not
described in 'bpf_struct_ops'
Warning: include/linux/bpf.h:1931 struct member 'owner' not
described in 'bpf_struct_ops'
The cfi_stubs field was added in commit 2cd3e3772e41 ("x86/cfi,bpf:
Fix bpf_struct_ops CFI") to provide CFI stub functions for trampolines,
and the owner field is used for module reference counting.
