	Update the documentation to reflect new type-aware kmalloc-family as suggested in commit 2932ba8d9c99 ("slab: Introduce kmalloc_obj() and family") ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(ptr), gfp); -> ptr = kmalloc_obj(ptr, gfp); ptr = kmalloc(sizeof(struct some_obj_name), gfp); -> ptr = kmalloc_obj(ptr, gfp); ptr = kzalloc(sizeof(ptr), gfp); -> ptr = kzalloc_obj(ptr, gfp); ptr = kmalloc_array(count, sizeof(ptr), gfp); -> ptr = kmalloc_objs(ptr, count, gfp); ptr = kcalloc(count, sizeof(ptr), gfp); -> ptr = kzalloc_objs(*ptr, count, gfp); Signed-off-by: Manuel Ebner <manuelebner@mailbox.org> Acked-by: SeongJae Park <sj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka (SUSE) <vbabka@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Message-ID: <20260429071445.309733-2-manuelebner@mailbox.org>
2024-12-13	kref: Improve documentation	Matthew Wilcox (Oracle)
	There is already kernel-doc written for many of the functions in kref.h but it's not linked into the html docs anywhere. Add it to kref.rst. Improve the kref documentation by using the standard Return: section, rewording some unclear verbiage and adding docs for some undocumented functions. Update Thomas' email address to his current one.
