[PATCH] futex: fix kernel-doc notation & typos

From: Randy Dunlap
Date: Wed Oct 13 2010 - 14:03:16 EST


From: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx>

Convert futex_requeue() function parameters to use @name kernel-doc
notation and add @fshared & @cmpval to prevent kernel-doc warnings.

Add @list to struct futex_q.

Fix a few typos.
