Subject: [PATCH 7/7] tty: Fix section format
Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2018 10:21:30 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181016232130.728-8-tobin@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181016232130.728-1-tobin@kernel.org>

Currently sections (specifically 'Return:' and 'Context:') are
non-uniform and/or incorrectly labelled.  We should use the format
outlined in Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst.  This patch is a bit
of a mash up because text is on occasions mixed up in the current
comments.

 - Use 'Context:' (Replaces 'Locking')

   * Context: Describes whether the function can sleep, what locks it takes,
   *          releases, or expects to be held. It can extend over multiple
   *          lines.

 - Use 'Return:'

   * Return: Describe the return value of foobar.
   *
   * The return value description can also have multiple paragraphs, and should
   * be placed at the end of the comment block.

 - If brief description is too long spilt it up into brief and longer.

   * A longer description, with more discussion of the function function_name()
   * that might be useful to those using or modifying it. Begins with an
   * empty comment line, and may include additional embedded empty
   * comment lines.

This patch leaves some instances of 'Locking:' still in the code (if I
was not _sure_ of the documented locking or if changing it would make
the comment less legible).
