Add '**[mandatory]**' or '**[optional]**' as kernel-doc field element description prefix This renders in HTML as (prefixes in bold) final [mandatory] Retrieve result from the driver. This function finalizes the transformation and retrieves the resulting hash from the driver and pushes it back to upper layers. No data processing happens at this point unless hardware requires it to finish the transformation (then the data buffered by the device driver is processed). Signed-off-by: Tobin C. Harding --- This patch begs the question why the other members of struct ahash_alg are not marked? Some are marked 'optional' some 'mandatory'. It would seem that if the marking were necessary for some members it is necessary for all to eliminate ambiguity? thanks include/crypto/hash.h | 12 ++++-------- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/crypto/hash.h b/include/crypto/hash.h index 0ed31fd80242..d1cd75faff40 100644 --- a/include/crypto/hash.h +++ b/include/crypto/hash.h @@ -71,12 +71,11 @@ struct ahash_request { /** * struct ahash_alg - asynchronous message digest definition - * @init: Initialize the transformation context.
