Subject: [PATCH v2] samples: bpf: ix kernel-doc syntax in file header
Date: Sun, 23 May 2021 20:44:08 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210523151408.22280-1-yashsri421@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20210523150917.21748-1-yashsri421@gmail.com>

The opening comment mark '/**' is used for highlighting the beginning of
kernel-doc comments.
The header for samples/bpf/ibumad_kern.c follows this syntax, but
the content inside does not comply with kernel-doc.

This line was probably not meant for kernel-doc parsing, but is parsed
due to the presence of kernel-doc like comment syntax(i.e, '/**'), which
causes unexpected warnings from kernel-doc:
warning: This comment starts with '/**', but isn't a kernel-doc comment. Refer Documentation/doc-guide/kernel-doc.rst
 * ibumad BPF sample kernel side

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