Thanks for emphasizing this. While I do remember I used "make cleandocs
&& make htmldocs", and checked among those long lines of red warning
output to find anything caused by my commit, I indeed didn't notice this
warning appearing at the early stage of the compilation.

It seems that I need to have my eyes checked soon. ;-)

Apologize for my recklessness.

Even so, do we have any way to distinguish these long-standing warnings
from the new warnings that appear during compilation? In fact, every
time I was worried that I might not have noticed the newly appeared
warning. Unfortunately, this time it really happened. (For example,
setting a new color? for new warnings?) Do you have a better idea or
tips for this?
My suggestion is to keep the log in each file, and you can easily observe
the diff. Otherwise, even I can ignore some warnings.
Ah, makes sense! I was actually wondering earlier why we need to put
this log in the directory instead of just keeping it in the CLI.

(I definitely won´t admit that the log file annoyed me a few times
because I accidentally included it with 'git add .' and then had to 'git
commit --amend' right after) ;-)
My experience is to not use 'git add .'. In Linux, hidden files are not listed by default.
Very useful, thanks!

And many contributors are coming together to fix those warnings. If they are
done, all new warnings are easily captured. Let us do more contribution to
help this.
Yeah, eliminating these warnings at their root is the straightforward
solution.

And that's exactly what Jon expects:

Kernel Recipes 2019 - Kernel documentation: past, present, and future
#Build warnings

It'd certainly be worth spending some time with folks from those
subsystems to get these warnings fixed once and for all.
Yes, you are right. Eliminating these warnings need collaboration from other subsystems.

Btw I've been trying to know more about Sphinx and kernel-docs, hope my
mistake won't happen again.
That change can fix problem. The underlying problem is RST syntax. Maybe you
can have a look at this or query it in the LLM.
Absolutely. I did have relatively little experience writing rst before.
But that's definitely no excuse - I'll try to pick it up quickly.

LLM is really useful to capture some syntax and semantics issues. Therefore, before submitting patch, use LLM to scan problem in this issue. I am writing a draft skill for reviewing patches of kernel Chinese documentation.

Thanks!
