[PATCH 5.0 030/246] docs/core-api/mm: fix user memory accessors formatting

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Apr 04 2019 - 05:31:40 EST


5.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

[ Upstream commit bc8ff3ca6589d63c6d10f5ee8bed38f74851b469 ]

The descriptions of userspace memory access functions had minor issues
with formatting that made kernel-doc unable to properly detect the
function/macro names and the return value sections:

./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:80: info: Scanning doc for

./arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c:78: info: Scanning doc for
./arch/x86/lib/usercopy_32.c:90: warning: No description found for return
value of '__clear_user'

Fix the formatting.
