doc: fix sysfs ABI documentation

2018-05-14T14:06:48Z

In 4.9 kernel, the sysfs files for Hyper-V VMBus changed name but the documentation files were not updated. The current sysfs file names are /sys/bus/vmbus/devices//... See commit 9a56e5d6a0ba ("Drivers: hv: make VMBus bus ids persistent") and commit f6b2db084b65 ("vmbus: make sysfs names consistent with PCI") Reported-by: Michael Kelley Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: K.

docs/admin-guide/mm: start moving here files from Documentation/vm

2018-04-27T23:02:48Z

Several documents in Documentation/vm fit quite well into the "admin/user guide" category. The documents that don't overload the reader with lots of implementation details and provide coherent description of certain feature can be moved to Documentation/admin-guide/mm.

Merge branch 'mm-rst' into docs-next

2018-04-16T20:25:08Z

Mike Rapoport says: These patches convert files in Documentation/vm to ReST format, add an initial index and link it to the top level documentation. There are no contents changes in the documentation, except few spelling fixes. The relatively large diffstat stems from the indentation and paragraph wrapping changes. I've tried to keep the formatting as consistent as possible, but I could miss some places that needed markup and add some markup where it was not necessary. [jc: significant conflicts in vm/hmm.rst]

uio_hv_generic: support sub-channels

2018-03-06T17:57:17Z

Use sysfs to allow supporting sub-channels. The userspace application makes request to host to create sub-channels and the UIO kernel driver populates the sysfs per-channel directory with a binary attribute file that can be used to read/write ring.
