The current formatting doesn't quite work with kernel-doc.

* alloc_pages_vma - Allocate a page for a VMA.
* alloc_pages_vma - Allocate a page for a VMA.
* @gfp: GFP flags.
* @order: Order of the GFP allocation.
* @vma: Pointer to VMA or NULL if not available.
* @addr: Virtual address of the allocation. Must be inside @vma.
* @node: Which node to prefer for allocation (modulo policy).

* %GFP_KERNEL kernel allocations,
* %GFP_HIGHMEM highmem/user allocations,
* %GFP_FS allocation should not call back into a file system.
* %GFP_ATOMIC don't sleep.
* Allocate a page for a specific address in @vma, using the appropriate
* NUMA policy. When @vma is not NULL the caller must hold the mmap_lock
* of the mm_struct of the VMA to prevent it from going away. Should be
* used for all allocations for pages that will be mapped into user space.
*
* @order:Order of the GFP allocation.
* @vma: Pointer to VMA or NULL if not available.
* @addr: Virtual Address of the allocation. Must be inside the VMA.
* @node: Which node to prefer for allocation (modulo policy).
* @hugepage: for hugepages try only the preferred node if possible
*
* This function allocates a page from the kernel page pool and applies
* a NUMA policy associated with the VMA or the current process.
* When VMA is not NULL caller must read-lock the mmap_lock of the
* mm_struct of the VMA to prevent it from going away. Should be used for
* all allocations for pages that will be mapped into user space. Returns
* NULL when no page can be allocated.
* Return: The page on success or NULL if allocation fails.
