Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/3] net: dns_resolver: Move dns_query() explanation out of code block
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 16:56:47 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250922095647.38390-4-bagasdotme@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250922095647.38390-2-bagasdotme@gmail.com>

Documentation for dns_query() is placed in the function's literal code
block snippet instead. Move it out of there.

Fixes: 9dfe1361261b ("docs: networking: convert dns_resolver.txt to ReST")

+Then you can make queries by calling::
 
 	int dns_query(const char *type, const char *name, size_t namelen,

-     This is the basic access function.  It looks for a cached DNS query and if
-     it doesn't find it, it upcalls to userspace to make a new DNS query, which
-     may then be cached.  The key description is constructed as a string of the

 The kernel maintains an internal keyring in which it caches looked up keys.
