Subject: [PATCH 1/2] slab: make kmem_cache_create{_usercopy} description proper kernel-doc
Date: Thu,  6 Dec 2018 23:13:00 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1544130781-13443-2-git-send-email-rppt@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1544130781-13443-1-git-send-email-rppt@linux.ibm.com>

Add the description for kmem_cache_create, fixup the return value paragraph
and make both kmem_cache_create and add the second '*' to the comment
opening.
