According to Documentation/process/coding-style.rst:
The preferred style for long (multi-line) comments is:
.. code-block:: c
/*
* This is the preferred style for multi-line
* comments in the Linux kernel source code.
* Please use it consistently.
*
* Description: A column of asterisks on the left side,
* with beginning and ending almost-blank lines.
*/
except in networking software.
