The "standard" is the Linux CodingStyle: ------------------------- snip ---------------------- The preferred style for long (multi-line) comments is: /* * This is the preferred style for multi-line * comments in the Linux kernel source code. * Please use it consistently. * * Description: A column of asterisks on the left side, * with beginning and ending almost-blank lines. */ ------------------------- snip ---------------------- Regarding the space above and blow, I'm not aware of any "standard".
