Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/networking/af_xdp: Inhibit reference to struct socket
Date: Sat, 10 Aug 2019 14:17:37 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190810121738.19587-1-j.neuschaefer@gmx.net> (raw)
With the recent change to auto-detect function names, Sphinx parses
socket() as a reference to the in-kernel definition of socket. It then
decides that struct socket is a good match, which was obviously not
intended in this case, because the text speaks about the syscall with
the same name.
Prevent socket() from being misinterpreted by wrapping it in ``inline
literal`` quotes.
