[PATCH] gfs2: Fix the return value in gfs2_get_link() kernel-doc
From: Karl Mehltretter
Date: Sat Sep 12 2026 - 02:30:11 EST
gfs2_get_link() returns the link target or an error pointer, but its
kernel-doc still describes an integer status. The mismatch dates back to
the change in its predecessor's follow_link calling convention.
Describe the returned pointer and error value.
Fixes: 680baacbca69 ("new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions")
