While checking the results of the :c:func: removal, I noticed that there was no documentation for request_irq(), and request_threaded_irq() was not mentioned at all. Add a kerneldoc comment for request_irq() and add request_threaded_irq() to the list of functions. Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>

The second paragraph of the content section does not properly describe how mount points are determined by autofs. Replace the lines detailing how the determination of these mount points is "ad hoc" by a short description of the mount map syntax used by autofs.

Convert autofs.txt to reST. The following changes abound: - Introduce reST formatting for headings, lists et al. - Add an indentation of an 8 space tab wherever suitable, so as to maintain consistency. - Remove indentation of the description of the ioctls which are similar to the AUTOFS_IOC ioctls, as it does not come out quite right in HTML. - Add an entry for autofs in the index.

One of the recurring complaints from both maintainers and CI system operators is that performing git-am on received patches is difficult without knowing the parent object in the git history on which the patches are based. Without this information, there is a high likelihood that git-am will fail due to conflicts, which is particularly frustrating to CI operators. Git versions starting with v2.9.0 are able to automatically include base-commit information using the --base flag of git-format-patch. Document this usage in process/submitting-patches, and add the rationale for its inclusion, plus instructions for those not using git on where the "base-commit:" trailer should go.

The 'functions' directive is not only for functions, but also works for structs/unions. So the name is misleading.

Currently, when kernel-doc encounters a macro with a named variable argument[1], such as this: #define hlist_for_each_entry_rcu(pos, head, member, cond...) ... it expects the variable argument to be documented as `cond...`, rather than `cond`. This is semantically wrong, because the name (as used in the macro body) is actually `cond`. With this patch, kernel-doc will accept the name without dots (`cond` in the example above) in doc comments, and warn if the name with dots (`cond...`) is used and verbose mode[2] is enabled. The support for the `cond...` syntax can be removed later, when the documentation of all such macros has been switched to the new syntax. Testing this patch on top of v5.4-rc6, `make htmldocs` shows a few changes in log output and HTML output: 1) The following warnings[3] are eliminated: ./include/linux/rculist.h:374: warning: Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'list_for_each_entry_rcu' ./include/linux/rculist.h:651: warning: Excess function parameter 'cond' description in 'hlist_for_each_entry_rcu' 2) For list_for_each_entry_rcu and hlist_for_each_entry_rcu, the correct description is shown 3) Named variable arguments are shown without dots [1]: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Variadic-Macros.html [2]: scripts/kernel-doc -v [3]: See also https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git/commit/?h=dev&id=5bc4bc0d6153617eabde275285b7b5a8137fdf3cSigned-off-by: Jonathan Neuschäfer <j.neuschaefer@gmx.net> Tested-by: Paul E.

Intel test robot reported a ~7% regression on TCP_CRR tests that they bisected to the cited commit. Indeed, every time a new TCP socket is created or deleted, the atomic counter net->count is touched (via get_net(net) and put_net(net) calls) So cpus might have to reload a contended cache line in net_hash_mix(net) calls. We need to reorder 'struct net' fields to move @hash_mix in a read mostly cache line. We move in the first cache line fields that can be dirtied often. We probably will have to address in a followup patch the __randomize_layout that was added in linux-4.13, since this might break our placement choices.

Jakub Kicinski says: ==================== net: netem: fix further issues with packet corruption This set is fixing two more issues with the netem packet corruption. First patch (which was previously posted) avoids NULL pointer dereference if the first frame gets freed due to allocation or checksum failure. v2 improves the clarity of the code a little as requested by Cong. Second patch ensures we don't return SUCCESS if the frame was in fact dropped. Thanks to this commit message for patch 1 no longer needs the "this will still break with a single-frame failure" disclaimer. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
