As a project in college, we are working on various algorithms for the Linux kernel. We have successfully compiled and tested a FQ-PIE module for Linux kernel 4.18 and now want to know how to write a man page for the module.



This link provides a solution for testing our man page locally but how do we ensure that we can push the man page to the Linux kernel along with our module. Is there a separate place (than the Linux GitHub repository) where we need to submit man pages? If not, where in the repository should we place man pages?
