[PATCH v1] landlock: Fix kernel-doc for the nested quiet layer flag

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@digikod.net>
Date: 2026-07-03 14:17:30
Subsystem: landlock security module, security subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: Mickaël Salaün, Paul Moore, James Morris, "Serge E. Hallyn", Linus Torvalds

kernel-doc emits "Excess struct member 'quiet' description in
'landlock_layer'" because "quiet" is a bitfield inside the named nested
struct "flags", but its inline comment used the bare member name
"@quiet:", which kernel-doc attributes to the enclosing landlock_layer.

Use the canonical dotted notation "@flags.quiet:" so kernel-doc resolves
the nested member, and include it in the generated documentation.
