[PATCH] dma-buf: fix stale return value documentation for dma_buf_set_name()
From: Hung-Chun Tseng
Date: Wed Jul 29 2026 - 20:33:51 EST
The kernel-doc for dma_buf_set_name() documents an -EBUSY return for the
case where the dma-buf is already attached to devices. The function has no
such path: it returns 0 on success, or the error from strndup_user().
kernel-doc does not validate prose, so scripts/kernel-doc does not report
this.
