[PATCH] mm/slub: drop duplicate kernel-doc for ksize()
From: Sanjay Chitroda
Date: Fri Feb 20 2026 - 07:42:53 EST
From: Sanjay Chitroda <sanjayembeddedse@xxxxxxxxx>
The ksize() API is already documented in the public header, and
Documentation/core-api/mm-api.rst pulls that canonical doc into the
book. The kernel-doc block added to mm/slub.c by commit
fab0694646d7 ("mm/slab: move [__]ksize and slab_ksize() to mm/slub.c")
introduced a second definition for the same symbol in the generated
docs, which makes Sphinx emit:
WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at core-api/mm-api:521
Declaration is '.. c:function:: size_t ksize(const void *objp)'
Remove the redundant kernel-doc comment from slub.c so only the
header-provided documentation is emitted. This keeps the user-visible
API documentation intact while eliminating the duplicate-declaration
warning during `make htmldocs`.
No functional change.
Fixes: fab0694646d7 ("mm/slab: move [__]ksize and slab_ksize() to mm/slub.c")
