From e1168c2cc4a5a5e495a53e067a6be6b4f29abfe0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Randy Dunlap Date: Fri, 22 Nov 2013 18:14:38 -0800 Subject: slab.h: remove duplicate kmalloc declaration and fix kernel-doc warnings Fix kernel-doc warning for duplicate definition of 'kmalloc': Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.xml:9483: element refentry: validity error : ID API-kmalloc already defined Also combine the kernel-doc info from the 2 kmalloc definitions into one block and remove the "see kcalloc" comment since kmalloc now contains the @flags info.
