mm: add pagemap.h to the fine documentation

2020-04-02T16:35:29Z

The documentation currently does not include the deathless prose written to describe functions in pagemap.h because it's not included in any rst file. Fix up the mismatches between parameter names and the documentation and add the file to mm-api.

docs: Catch up with the new location of get_user_pages_fast()

2019-10-07T15:09:49Z

Commit 050a9adc6438 ("mm: consolidate the get_user_pages* implementations") moved get_user_pages_fast() from mm/util.c to mm/gup.c, but didn't update the documentation, leading to this build warning: ./mm/util.c:1: warning: 'get_user_pages_fast' not found Update the docs to match the new reality.

docs/mm-api: link slab_common.c to "The Slab Cache" section

2018-12-20T15:33:21Z

Several functions in mm/slab_common.c have kernel-doc comments, it makes perfect sense to link them to the MM API reference. Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

docs/core-api: make mm-api.rst more structured

2018-12-06T17:18:01Z

The mm-api.rst covers variety of memory management APIs under "More Memory Management Functions" section. The descriptions included there are in a random order there are quite a few of them which makes the section too long. Regrouping the documentation by subject and splitting the long "More Memory Management Functions" section into several smaller sections makes the generated html more usable.

2018-08-24T01:48:43Z

This is basically copy-paste of the memory management section from kernel-api.rst with some minor adjustments: * The "User Space Memory Access" is moved to the beginning * The get_user_pages_fast reference is now a part of "User Space Memory Access" * And, of course, headings are adjusted with section being promoted to chapters Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1532626360-16650-6-git-send-email-rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Jonathan Corbet Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Michal Hocko Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
