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

+ * 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

  *
- *     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.
