+Subject: kernel-doc: bugfix - multi-line macros
+
+From: Daniel Santos <daniel.santos@pobox.com>
+
+commit 654784284430bf2739985914b65e09c7c35a7273 upstream.
+
+Prior to this patch the following code breaks:
+
+/**
+ * multiline_example - this breaks kernel-doc
+ */
+ #define multiline_example( \
+myparam)
+
+Producing this error:
+
+Error(somefile.h:983): cannot understand prototype: 'multiline_example( \ '
+
+This patch fixes the issue by appending all lines ending in a blackslash
+(optionally followed by whitespace), removing the backslash and any
+whitespace after it prior to appending (just like the C pre-processor
+would).
+
+This fixes a break in kerel-doc introduced by the additions to rbtree.h.
