Don't know what has happened to it though. :(

It was applied, as bc67f1c454fb ("docs: futex: Fix kernel-doc references") in 5.16-rc1. But 5.10.y and 5.15.y picked up from the refactoring only 77e52ae35463 ("futex: Move to kernel/futex/").

So this change is a specific backport of subset of it, to 5.10.y and 5.15.y thus the commit message:

In upstream commit 77e52ae35463 ("futex: Move to kernel/futex/") the futex code from kernel/futex.c was moved into kernel/futex/core.c in preparation of the split-up of the implementation in various files.

Point kernel-doc references to the new files as otherwise the documentation shows errors on build:

[...]
Error: Cannot open file ./kernel/futex.c
Error: Cannot open file ./kernel/futex.c
[...]
WARNING: kernel-doc './scripts/kernel-doc -rst -enable-lineno -sphinx-version 3.4.3 -internal ./kernel/futex.c' failed with return code 2

There is no direct upstream commit for this change. It is made in analogy to commit bc67f1c454fb ("docs: futex: Fix kernel-doc references") applied as consequence of the restructuring of the futex code.

Here pointing out explicitly that there is no (direct) upstream commit for it.

Hope this helps,

Regards, Salvatore
