Abbreviations are written as all-uppercase, for example: DRM, KMS, IOCTL, CRTC, and so on. To aid in reading, documentations make full use of the markup characters kerneldoc provides: @parameter for function parameters, -@member for structure members, &structure to reference structures and -function() for functions. These all get automatically hyperlinked if -kerneldoc for the referenced objects exists. When referencing entries in -function vtables please use ->vfunc(). Note that kerneldoc does not -support referencing struct members directly, so please add a reference -to the vtable struct somewhere in the same paragraph or at least -section. +@member for structure members (within the same structure), &struct structure to +reference structures and function() for functions. These all get automatically +hyperlinked if kerneldoc for the referenced objects exists. When referencing +entries in function vtables (and structure members in general) please use +&vtable_name.vfunc. Unfortunately this does not yet yield a direct link to the +member, only the structure. Except in special situations (to separate locked from unlocked variants) locking requirements for functions aren't documented in the kerneldoc.
