There are several skb_* functions where the locked and unlocked functions are confusingly documented. For several of them, the kernel-doc for the unlocked version is placed above the locked version, which to the casual reader makes it seems like the locked version "takes no locks and you must therefore hold required locks before calling it." One can see, for example, that this link claims to document skb_queue_head(), while instead describing __skb_queue_head(). https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/networking/kapi.html#c.skb_queue_head The correct documentation for skb_queue_head() is also included further down the page. This diff tested via: $ scripts/kernel-doc -rst include/linux/skbuff.h net/core/skbuff.c No new warnings were seen, and the output makes a little more sense.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
