Subject: [PATCH] Add kerneldoc documentation for new printk format extensions
Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2008 12:15:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081007101532.GA25565@basil.nowhere.org> (raw)
Add documentation in kerneldoc for new printk format extensions
This patch documents the new %pS/%pF options in printk in kernel doc.
Hope I didn't miss any other extension.
