Some kernel-doc sections are included in multiple DocBook files. This means the mandocs target will generate the same manual page multiple times with different metadata (author name/address and manual title, taken from the including DocBook file). If it's invoked in a parallel build, the output is non-determinstic. Build the manual pages in a separate subdirectory per DocBook file, then sort and de-duplicate when installing them (which is serialised).

Describing arguments at top of a struct definition works fine for small/medium size structs, but it definitely doesn't work well for struct with a huge list of elements. Keeping the arguments list inside the struct body makes it easier to maintain the documentation. ie: /** * struct my_struct - short description * @A: first member * @b: second member * * Longer description */ struct my_struct { int a; int b; /** * @c: This is longer description of C * * You can use paragraphs to describe arguments * using this method. */ int c; }; This patch allows the use of this kind of syntax. Only one argument per comment and user can use how many paragraphs he needs. It should start with /**, which is already being used by kernel-doc. If those comment doesn't follow those rules, it will be ignored.

Some kernel-doc sections are included in multiple DocBook files. This means the mandocs target will generate the same manual page multiple times with different metadata (author name/address and manual title, taken from the including DocBook file). If it's invoked in a parallel build, the output is nondeterminstic. For each section that is duplicated, mark the less specific manual's inclusion as 'extra' and exclude it during conversion to manual pages. Use xmlif for this, as that is bundled with xmlto which we already use. I would have preferred to use more conventional markup for this, but each of the following approaches failed: 1. Wrap the extra inclusions with a new element and add a template to the stylesheet to include/exclude them. Unfortunately DocBook XSL doesn't seem to support foreign elements at an intermediate level in the document tree. 2. Use DocBook profiling. This works but requires passing an absolute path to the profile stylesheet to xmlto, so it's not portable. 3. Use SGML marked sections. docbook2x can handle these but xmlto chokes on them.

Regular expressions for highlights in kernel-doc are stored in a Perl hash. These hashes are ordered differently for each Perl run. This will prevent kernel-doc to behave deterministically when parsing “@foo()” as in some runs it will be interpreted as a parameter and in the others it will be interpreted as a function. We now sort the %highlights hash to get the same behavior on every run.

Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning") thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing out the list pointers and removed it. But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further). So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling (which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc()) This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong An. [ I would normally expect to get this through the bt tree, but I'm going to release -rc1, so I'm just committing this directly - Linus ] Reported-and-tested-by: Jörg Otte <jrg.otte@gmail.com> Cc: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Original-by: Tedd Ho-Jeong An <tedd.an@intel.com> Original-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>: Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of different areas. The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric drivers tree-wide. There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a completely lockless code-path. It also removes the original hard-coded limitation of 256 LUNs per fabric endpoint. The configfs attributes for backends can now be shared between core and driver code, allowing existing drivers to use common code while still allowing flexibility for new backend provided attributes. The highlights include: - Merge sbc_verify_dif_* into common code (sagi) - Remove iscsi-target support for obsolete IFMarker/OFMarker (Christophe Vu-Brugier) - Add bidi support in target/user backend (ilias + vangelis + agover) - Move se_node_acl allocation into target-core code (hch) - Add crc_t10dif_update common helper (akinobu + mkp) - Handle target-core odd SGL mapping for data transfer memory (akinobu) - Move transport ID handling into target-core (hch) - Move task tag into struct se_cmd + support 64-bit tags (bart) - Convert se_node_acl->device_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Convert se_portal_group->tpg_lun_list[] to RCU hlist (nab + hch + paulmck) - Simplify target backend driver registration (hch) - Consolidate + simplify target backend attribute implementations (hch + nab) - Subsume se_port + t10_alua_tg_pt_gp_member into se_lun (hch) - Drop lun_sep_lock for se_lun->lun_se_dev RCU usage (hch + nab) - Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter (nab) - Use 64-bit LUNs tree-wide (hannes) - Drop left-over TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT limit (hannes)" * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (76 commits) target: Bump core version to v5.0 target: remove target_core_configfs.h target: remove unused TARGET_CORE_CONFIG_ROOT define target: consolidate version defines target: implement WRITE_SAME with UNMAP bit using ->execute_unmap target: simplify UNMAP handling target: replace se_cmd->execute_rw with a protocol_data field target/user: Fix inconsistent kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic target: Send UA when changing LUN inventory target: Send UA upon LUN RESET tmr completion target: Send UA on ALUA target port group change target: Convert se_lun->lun_deve_lock to normal spinlock target: use 'se_dev_entry' when allocating UAs target: Remove 'ua_nacl' pointer from se_ua structure target_core_alua: Correct UA handling when switching states xen-scsiback: Fix compile warning for 64-bit LUN target: Remove TARGET_MAX_LUNS_PER_TRANSPORT target: use 64-bit LUNs target: Drop duplicate + unused se_dev_check_wce target: Drop unnecessary core_tpg_register TFO parameter ...
