mm: fix kernel-doc markups
Kernel-doc markups should use this format: identifier - description Fix some issues on mm files: 1) The definition for get_user_pages_locked() doesn't follow it. Also, it expects a short descrpition at the header, followed by a long one, after the parameters. Fix it. 2) Kernel-doc requires that a kernel-doc markup to be immediately below the function prototype, as otherwise it will rename it. So, move get_pfnblock_flags_mask() description to the right place. 3) Make invalidate_mapping_pagevec() to also follow the expected kernel-doc format. While here, fix a few minor English syntax issues, as suggested by Matthew: will used -> will be used similar with -> similar to Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/80e85dddc92d333bc2159ee8a2294921612e8745.1605521731.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Suggested-by: Mattew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> [English fixes] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
