In order to document ib_alloc_pd().
See, currently, verbs.c has this kernel-doc markup:
/**
* ib_alloc_pd - Allocates an unused protection domain.
* @device: The device on which to allocate the protection domain.
* @flags: protection domain flags
* @caller: caller's build-time module name
*
* A protection domain object provides an association between QPs,
shared
* receive queues, address handles, memory regions, and memory windows.
*
* Every PD has a local_dma_lkey which can be used as the lkey value
for local
* memory operations.
*/
struct ib_pd *__ib_alloc_pd(struct ib_device *device, unsigned int
flags,
const char *caller)
Which doesn't actually work as expected, as kernel-doc will, instead,
document __ib_alloc_pd():
$ ./scripts/kernel-doc -sphinx-version 3.1 -function ib_alloc_pd
drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c
drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c:1: warning: 'ib_alloc_pd' not found
$ ./scripts/kernel-doc -sphinx-version 3.1 -function __ib_alloc_pd
drivers/infiniband/core/verbs.c
.. c:function:: struct ib_pd * __ib_alloc_pd (struct ib_device *device,
unsigned int flags, const char *caller)
Allocates an unused protection domain.
**Parameters**
``struct ib_device *device``
The device on which to allocate the protection domain.
``unsigned int flags``
protection domain flags
``const char *caller``
caller's build-time module name
**Description**
A protection domain object provides an association between QPs, shared
receive queues, address handles, memory regions, and memory windows.
Every PD has a local_dma_lkey which can be used as the lkey value for
local
memory operations.
So, what this patch does is to fix the kernel-doc markup at verbs.c for
it to reflect the function that it is documented, adding a new markup for
ib_alloc_pd(), which is identical to __ib_alloc_pd(), except for the
@caller field, which is set to KBUILD_MODNAME by this macro.
Thanks,
Mauro
