Subject: [PATCH v2 6/6] tracing: probes: Add a kerneldoc for traceprobe_parse_event_name()
Date: Sun, 20 Jul 2025 15:22:36 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <175299255609.418723.7661338110074622016.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <175299249728.418723.17799706394466693180.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Since traceprobe_parse_event_name() is a bit complicated, add a
kerneldoc for explaining the behavior.
