docs: kernel-doc: Don't mangle literal code blocks in comments
It can be useful to put code snippets into kerneldoc comments; that can be done with the "::" operator at the end of a line like this:: if (desperate) run_in_circles(); The ".. code-block::" directive can also be used to this end. kernel-doc currently fails to understand these literal blocks and applies its normal markup to them, which is then treated as literal by sphinx. The result is unsightly markup instead of a useful code snippet. Apply a hack to the output code to recognize literal blocks and avoid performing any special markup on them. It's ugly, but that means it fits in well with the rest of the script. Reviewed-by: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
