Hi Jim,

Very minor nit below about the kernel-doc ordering for args...


+/*
+ * Walk the @_box->@_vec member, over @_vec.start[0..len], and find
+ * the contiguous subrange of elements matching on ->mod_name.  Copy
+ * the subrange into @_dst.  This depends on vars defd by caller.
+ *
+ * @_i:   caller provided counter var, init'd by macro
+ * @_sp:  cursor into @_vec.
+ * @_box: contains member named @_vec
+ * @_vec: member-name of a type with: .start .len fields.
+ * @_dst: an array-ref: to remember the module's subrange
+ */

Not sure if the odering matters for the docs, but it makes it a bit
harder read when these don't go in order.

Thanks,

I chose that doc ordering for clarity,  the easy ones 1st,
and @dst last since it gets the subrange info.
I think reordering might mean more words trying to connect
the pieces, and with less clarity.
It does work against the macro arg ordering,
which places @dst near the front,
I did that to follow  LHS = RHS(...)   convention.

Im happy to swap it around if anyone thinks that convention
should supercede these reasons,
but Im in NZ on vacation right now,
and I forgot to pull the latest rev off my desktop before I left.
so I dont want to fiddle with the slightly older copy I have locally,
and then have to isolate and fix whatever is different.

the same applies to the Documentation tweaks that Bagas noted.

Couldn't you then re-order the function args to match the doc order instead?


As you might surmise, the code was written before the kdoc.
Since it is setting the @_dst, it feels like an assignment.
Therefore the LHS = RHS convention seemed pertinent,
and the macro args are ordered to conform to this.
For the (pseudo- since its not /** ) kdoc,
the linear explanation was simplest and clearest, ending with @_dst.

So I see these options (in my preferred order), please pick one.
1. leave as is
2. add an NB: that arg order differs from doc-order
3. change macro arg order
4. change kdoc arg order

If 2-4 can wait, I can do that trivially once Im home (in Jan)
Doing it now, from here, will require fiddling with git am on the mbox.gz
with which Ive had mixed results/troubles in the past.


Hi Jim,

I am fine leaving this as is, but I do feel like we should perhaps do at least #2 at some point, to clarify things.
