Hi all,

After merging the overlayfs tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs) produced this warning:

Documentation/devicetree/kernel-api:56: /home/sfr/next/next/drivers/of/overlay.c:1184: WARNING: Inline emphasis start-string without end-string.

Introduced by commit

24789c5ce5a3 ("of: overlay: detect cases where device tree may become corrupt")

Probably exposed by commit

8c8239c2c1fb ("of: Add missing 'Return' section in kerneldoc comments")

Hi Stephen,

I think you mixed up drivers/of/overlay.c with fs/overlay/.

Thanks,
Miklos

You are entirely correct and I have no idea how I managed that :-(

I am still seeing this warning (as of next-20210420).
