Subject: [PATCH] module.h: Document klp_modinfo struct members
Date: Thu,  2 Feb 2023 15:29:50 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230202182950.10471-1-mpdesouza@suse.com> (raw)

The struct members description can be found on
Documentation/livepatch/module-elf-format.rst, but for a developer it's
easier to search for such information looking at the struct definition.
