docs: remove extra conf.py files

2019-07-17T09:57:52+00:00

Now that the latex_documents are handled automatically, we can
remove those extra conf.py files.

docs: cgroup-v1: add it to the admin-guide book

2019-07-15T14:03:02+00:00

Those files belong to the admin guide, so add them.

docs: admin-guide: move sysctl directory to it

2019-07-15T14:03:01+00:00

The stuff under sysctl describes /sys interface from userspace
point of view. So, add it to the admin-guide and remove the
:orphan: from its index file.

docs: sysctl: convert to ReST

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

Rename the /proc/sys/ documentation files to ReST, using the
README file as a template for an index.rst, adding the other
files there via TOC markup.

Despite being written on different times with different
styles, try to make them somewhat coherent with a similar
look and feel, ensuring that they'll look nice as both
raw text file and as via the html output produced by the
Sphinx build system.

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.

2019-07-15T02:42:11+00:00

Pull HMM updates from Jason Gunthorpe:
 "Improvements and bug fixes for the hmm interface in the kernel:

   - Improve clarity, locking and APIs related to the 'hmm mirror'
     feature merged last cycle. In linux-next we now see AMDGPU and
     nouveau to be using this API.

   - Remove old or transitional hmm APIs. These are hold overs from the
     past with no users, or APIs that existed only to manage cross tree
     conflicts. There are still a few more of these cleanups that didn't
     make the merge window cut off.

   - Improve some core mm APIs:
       - export alloc_pages_vma() for driver use
       - refactor into devm_request_free_mem_region() to manage
         DEVICE_PRIVATE resource reservations
       - refactor duplicative driver code into the core dev_pagemap
         struct

   - Remove hmm wrappers of improved core mm APIs, instead have drivers
     use the simplified API directly

   - Remove DEVICE_PUBLIC

   - Simplify the kconfig flow for the hmm users and core code"

Pull Documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "It's been a relatively busy cycle for docs:

   - A fair pile of RST conversions, many from Mauro. These create more
     than the usual number of simple but annoying merge conflicts with
     other trees, unfortunately. He has a lot more of these waiting on
     the wings that, I think, will go to you directly later on.

   - A new document on how to use merges and rebases in kernel repos,
     and one on Spectre vulnerabilities.

   - Various improvements to the build system, including automatic
     markup of function() references because some people, for reasons I
     will never understand, were of the opinion that
     :c:func:``function()`` is unattractive and not fun to type.

   - We now recommend using sphinx 1.7, but still support back to 1.4.

   - Lots of smaller improvements, warning fixes, typo fixes, etc"

Merge branch 'hmm-devmem-cleanup.4' into rdma.git hmm

2019-07-02T18:10:45+00:00

Christoph Hellwig says:

====================
Below is a series that cleans up the dev_pagemap interface so that it is
more easily usable, which removes the need to wrap it in hmm and thus
allowing to kill a lot of code

Changes since v3:
 - pull in "mm/swap: Fix release_pages() when releasing devmap pages" and
   rebase the other patches on top of that
 - fold the hmm_devmem_add_resource into the DEVICE_PUBLIC memory removal
   patch
 - remove _vm_normal_page as it isn't needed without DEVICE_PUBLIC memory
 - pick up various ACKs

Changes since v2:
 - fix nvdimm kunit build
 - add a new memory type for device dax
 - fix a few issues in intermediate patches that didn't show up in the end
   result
 - incorporate feedback from Michal Hocko, including killing of
   the DEVICE_PUBLIC memory type entirely

Changes since v1:
 - rebase
 - also switch p2pdma to the internal refcount
 - add type checking for pgmap->type
 - rename the migrate method to migrate_to_ram
 - cleanup the altmap_valid flag
 - various tidbits from the reviews
====================

Conflicts resolved by:
 - Keeping Ira's version of the code in swap.c
 - Using the delete for the section in hmm.rst
 - Using the delete for the devmap code in hmm.c and .h
