Sphinx is very pedantic with respect to blank lines. Sometimes,
in order to make it to properly handle something, we need to
add a blank line. However, currently, any blank line inside a
kernel-doc comment like:
/*
* @foo: bar
*
* foobar
*
* some description
will be considered as if "foobar" was part of the description.
This patch changes kernel-doc behavior. After it, foobar will
be considered as part of the parameter text. The description
will only be considered as such if it starts with:
zero spaces after asterisk:
*foo
one space after asterisk:
* foo
or have a explicit Description section:
* Description:

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
