Subject: [PATCH 09/17] rcu: update.c: get rid of some doc warnings
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2020 15:54:18 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c69a85d13717c2aec563f702bffd7cd1e3be6a88.1584456635.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1584456635.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

We need to escape *ret, as otherwise the documentation system
thinks that this is an incomplete emphasis block:

	./kernel/rcu/update.c:65: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
	./kernel/rcu/update.c:65: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
	./kernel/rcu/update.c:70: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
	./kernel/rcu/update.c:82: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.
