Functions, Structs and Parameters definitions on kernel documentation are pure cosmetic, it only highlights the element.
To ease the navigation in the documentation we should use <links> inside those tags so readers can easily jump between methods directly.
This was discussed in 2014[1] and is implemented by getting a list of <refentries> from the DocBook XML to generate a database. Then it looks for <function>,<structnames> and <paramdef> tags that matches the ones in the database. As it only links existent references, no broken links are added.
