block: rsxx: select CONFIG_CRC32

2021-01-03T21:54:43+00:00

Without crc32, the driver fails to link:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: drivers/block/rsxx/config.o: in function `rsxx_load_config':
config.c:(.text+0x124): undefined reference to `crc32_le'

treewide: replace '---help---' in Kconfig files with 'help'

2020-06-13T16:57:21+00:00

Since commit 84af7a6194e4 ("checkpatch: kconfig: prefer 'help' over
'---help---'"), the number of '---help---' has been gradually
decreasing, but there are still more than 2400 instances.

This commit finishes the conversion. While I touched the lines,
I also fixed the indentation.

There are a variety of indentation styles found.

  a) 4 spaces + '---help---'
  b) 7 spaces + '---help---'
  c) 8 spaces + '---help---'
  d) 1 space + 1 tab + '---help---'
  e) 1 tab + '---help---'    (correct indentation)
  f) 1 tab + 1 space + '---help---'
  g) 1 tab + 2 spaces + '---help---'

In order to convert all of them to 1 tab + 'help', I ran the
following commend:

  $ find . -name 'Kconfig*' | xargs sed -i 's/^[[:space:]]*---help---/\thelp/'

virtio-blk: remove VIRTIO_BLK_F_SCSI support

2020-02-06T08:40:26+00:00

Since the need for a special flag to support SCSI passthrough on a
block device was added in May 2017 the SCSI passthrough support in
virtio-blk has been disabled.  It has always been a bad idea
(just ask the original author..) and we have virtio-scsi for proper
passthrough.  The feature also never made it into the virtio 1.0
or later specifications.

docs: blockdev: convert to ReST

2019-07-15T12:20:26+00:00

Rename the blockdev documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.

The drbd sub-directory contains some graphs and data flows.
Add those too to the documentation.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

docs: cdrom: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:20:46+00:00

The stuff there is almost already at ReST format. A
conversion for them is trivial: just add a missing titles
and fix some scape codes for them to match ReST syntax.

While here, rename the cdrom-standard.txt, with was converted
from LaTeX to ReST on the previous patch, and add it to the
index file.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

drivers/block: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s

2018-10-10T20:11:08+00:00

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

    ...
    One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
    the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

        config FOO
                bool

        config FOO
                bool
                default n

    With this change, neither of these will generate a
    '# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
    That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
    redundant.
