[RFC PATCH 0/3] LSM Documentation - Render lsm_hooks.h for kernel_docs

[RFC PATCH 0/3] LSM Documentation - Render lsm_hooks.h for kernel_docs

[Richard Haines]

This patch series updates the LSM hook text defined in the comments
section of inlcude/linux/lsm_hooks.h. This enables the hook functions to
be rendered in kernel_docs html or pdf format.

Note that no text has been changed in lsm_hooks.h, only formatting
to render the text.

To get the correct rendering some lines have exceeded checkpatch limits and
therefore has a moan. The function statements seem to need being a
continuous line. The others can be split, but decided not to.
Any better ideas ??

The hook functions render in HTML ok, however in PDF format the only issue
is that the long function definitions do not wrap and therefore truncated.
Check the 'int sb_mount(const char *dev_name' entry in:
Documentation/output/pdf/security.pdf

For reference two hooks have been marked as deprecated: sb_copy_data() and
sb_parse_opts_str()

Tested using 'make pdfdocs' and 'make htmldocs'

I haven't yet pulled this patchset to generate the HTML/PDF docs, but
just looking at the comments themselves it looks reasonable to me ...
and I say this as being perhaps one of the stricter folks under
security/ when it comes to 80 character line lengths :)  In my
opinion, the benefit of being able to render the docs nicely outweigh
the pain of scrolling horizontally in my editor.  Thanks for doing
this Richard.

Does anyone else have any thoughts on these changes?
