From 4c925d6031f719fad6ea8b1c94a636f4c0fea39b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eldad Zack Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2012 16:03:04 -0800 Subject: kstrto*: add documentation As Bruce Fields pointed out, kstrto* is currently lacking kerneldoc comments. This patch adds kerneldoc comments to common variants of kstrto*: kstrto(u)l, kstrto(u)ll and kstrto(u)int. Signed-off-by: Eldad Zack Cc: J.
