Subject: [PATCH] block: fix comment syntax in file headers
Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 02:22:45 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210317205245.24857-1-yashsri421@gmail.com> (raw)

The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
There are files in block/partitions/ which follow this syntax in their file
headers, i.e. start with '/**' like comments, which causes unexpected
warnings from kernel-doc.

E.g., running scripts/kernel-doc -none on block/partitions/ldm.h
causes this warning:
"warning: expecting prototype for ldm(). Prototype was for _FS_PT_LDM_H_() instead"

Provide a simple fix by replacing such occurrences with general comment
format, i.e., "/*", to prevent kernel-doc from parsing it.
