 /**
  * bio_endio - end I/O on a bio
  * @bio:	bio
- * @error:	error, if any
  *
  * Description:
- *   bio_endio() will end I/O on the whole bio. bio_endio() is the
- *   preferred way to end I/O on a bio, it takes care of clearing
- *   BIO_UPTODATE on error. @error is 0 on success, and and one of the
- *   established -Exxxx (-EIO, for instance) error values in case
- *   something went wrong. No one should call bi_end_io() directly on a
- *   bio unless they own it and thus know that it has an end_io
- *   function.
