Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: openvswitch: clean up some kernel-doc warnings
Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:00:58 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260228010058.2385110-1-rdunlap@infradead.org> (raw)
Fix some kernel-doc warnings in openvswitch.h:
Mark enum placeholders that are not used as "private" so that kernel-doc
comments are not needed for them.
Correct names for 2 enum values:
Warning: include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h:300 Excess enum value
'@OVS_VPORT_UPCALL_SUCCESS' description in 'ovs_vport_upcall_attr'
Warning: include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h:300 Excess enum value
'@OVS_VPORT_UPCALL_FAIL' description in 'ovs_vport_upcall_attr'
Convert one comment from "/**" kernel-doc to a plain C "/*" comment:
Warning: include/uapi/linux/openvswitch.h:638 This comment starts with
'/**', but isn't a kernel-doc comment.
* Omit attributes for notifications.
Add more kernel-doc:
- add kernel-doc for kernel-only enums;
- add missing kernel-doc for enum ovs_datapath_attr;
- add missing kernel-doc for enum ovs_flow_attr;
- add missing kernel-doc for enum ovs_sample_attr;
- add kernel-doc for enum ovs_check_pkt_len_attr;
- add kernel-doc for enum ovs_action_attr;
- add kernel-doc for enum ovs_action_push_eth;
- add kernel-doc for enum ovs_vport_attr;
Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>
---
v2: correct -net to net for tree destination/designation;
add more kernel-doc for various enums;
