Use "diffstat -p 1 -w 70" per Documentation/SubmittingPatches.

Use proper kernel-doc notation, per Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt.

This comment block should be:

/**
 * generic_file_buffered_write - handle an iov
 * @iocb:	file operations
 * @iov:	vector of data to write
 * @nr_segs:	number of iov segments
 * @pos:	position in the file
 * @ppos:	position in the file after this function
 * @count:	number of bytes to write
 * @written:	offset in iov->base (data to skip on write)
 *
 * This function will do 3 main tasks for each iov:
 * - prepare a write
 * - copy the data from iov into a new page
 * - commit this page
 */
