Instead of duplicating struct export_operations documentation in both ReST file and in the C source code, just use the kernel-doc in the docs. While here, make the sentence preceding the paragraph less redundant.

May fail if the filehandle fragment is too small. - - get_parent (optional but strongly recommended) - When given a dentry for a directory, this should return a dentry for - the parent. Quite possibly the parent dentry will have been allocated - by d_alloc_anon. The default get_parent function just returns an error - so any filehandle lookup that requires finding a parent will fail. - ->lookup("..") is *not* used as a default as it can leave ".." entries - in the dcache which are too messy to work with. - - get_name (optional) - When given a parent dentry and a child dentry, this should find a name - in the directory identified by the parent dentry, which leads to the - object identified by the child dentry. If no get_name function is - supplied, a default implementation is provided which uses vfs_readdir - to find potential names, and matches inode numbers to find the correct - match. - - flags - Some filesystems may need to be handled differently than others.
