Since commit 1fffe7a34c89 ("script: modpost: emit a warning when the description is missing"), a module without a MODULE_DESCRIPTION() will result in a warning when built with make W=1.
Recently, multiple developers have been eradicating these warnings treewide, and I personally submitted almost 300 patches over the past few months. Almost all of my patches landed by 6.11-rc1, either by being merged in a 6.10-rc or by being merged in the 6.11 merge window. However, a few of my patches did not land. In some cases I see them in linux-next, but they did not land during the merge window. I'm still monitoring those. In a few cases I have not had any feedback that the patches have been accepted into a maintainer's tree. At the advice of Greg KH I've consolidated those patches into this single series with the hope these can still land before 6.11-final. https://lore.kernel.org/all/2024071518-ridden-election-8118@gregkh/ Links to the original individual patches: crypto: arm/xor - add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240711-md-arm-arch-arm-lib-v2-1-ab08653dc...@quicinc.com/ x86/mm: add testmmiotrace MODULE_DESCRIPTION() https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240515-testmmiotrace-md-v1-1-10919a8b2...@quicinc.com/ cpufreq: powerpc: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240722-md-powerpc-drivers-cpufreq-v2-1-bb84d715e...@quicinc.com/ fsi: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240605-md-drivers-fsi-v1-1-fefc82d81...@quicinc.com/ locking/ww_mutex/test: add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240528-md-test-ww_mutex-v2-1-a2a19e920...@quicinc.com/ --- Jeff Johnson (5): crypto: arm/xor - add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macro x86/mm: add testmmiotrace MODULE_DESCRIPTION() cpufreq: powerpc: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros fsi: add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros locking/ww_mutex/test: add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() arch/arm/lib/xor-neon.c | 1 + arch/x86/mm/testmmiotrace.c | 1 + drivers/cpufreq/maple-cpufreq.c | 1 + drivers/cpufreq/pasemi-cpufreq.c | 1 + drivers/cpufreq/pmac64-cpufreq.c | 1 + drivers/cpufreq/powernv-cpufreq.c | 1 + drivers/cpufreq/ppc_cbe_cpufreq.c | 1 + drivers/fsi/fsi-core.c | 1 + drivers/fsi/fsi-master-aspeed.c | 1 + drivers/fsi/fsi-master-ast-cf.c | 3 ++- drivers/fsi/fsi-master-gpio.c | 1 + drivers/fsi/fsi-master-hub.c | 1 + drivers/fsi/fsi-scom.c | 1 + kernel/locking/test-ww_mutex.c | 1 + 14 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) --- base-commit: 94ede2a3e9135764736221c080ac7c0ad993dc2d change-id: 20240730-module_description_orphans-cb5e25fe1656
