[PATCH] rust: list: hide macros from top-level kernel doc
From: Gary Guo
Date: Thu Mar 12 2026 - 13:48:03 EST
From: Gary Guo <gary@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Due to Rust macro scoping rules, all macros defined in a crate using
`#[macro_export]` end up in the top-level. For the list macros, we
re-export them inside the list module, and expect users to use
`kernel::list::macro_name!()`.
Use `#[doc(hidden)]` on the macro definition, and use `#[doc(inline)]` on
the re-export to make the macro appear to be defined at module-level inside
documentation.
The other exported types are already automatically `#[doc(inline)]` because
they are defined in a non-public module, so there is no need to split the
macro re-exports out.
