[PATCH 3/8] tick/sched: Add function description for tick_nohz_next_event()

From: Anna-Maria Behnsen
Date: Tue Jan 23 2024 - 11:51:52 EST


The return value of tick_nohz_next_event() is not obvious at the first
glance. Add a kernel-doc compatible function description which also covers
return values.
