Hi,
kernel-doc reports warning on include/crypto/skcipher.h:
WARNING: ./include/crypto/skcipher.h:166 struct member 'SKCIPHER_ALG_COMMON' not described in 'skcipher_alg'
skciper_alg struct is defined as:
struct skcipher_alg {
int (*setkey)(struct crypto_skcipher *tfm, const u8 *key,
unsigned int keylen);
int (*encrypt)(struct skcipher_request *req);
int (*decrypt)(struct skcipher_request *req);
int (*export)(struct skcipher_request *req, void *out);
int (*import)(struct skcipher_request *req, const void *in);
int (*init)(struct crypto_skcipher *tfm);
void (*exit)(struct crypto_skcipher *tfm);
unsigned int walksize;
union {
struct SKCIPHER_ALG_COMMON;
struct skcipher_alg_common co;
};
};
Note the first member in the union, which is an anonymous (i.e. unnamed) variable.
What can I do on it? Should the offending member be deleted?
Thanks.
