Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/4] net: make page_pool_get_stats() void
Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 08:57:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260526155722.2790742-5-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260526155722.2790742-1-kuba@kernel.org>
The kdoc for page_pool_get_stats() is missing a Returns: statement.
Looking at this function, I have no idea what is the purpose of
the bool it returns. My guess was that maybe the static inline
stub returns false if CONFIG_PAGE_POOL_STATS=n but such static
inline helper doesn't exist at all. All callers pass a pointer
to a struct on the stack. Make this function void.
