2021-06-17docs: filesystems: ext4: blockgroup.rst: replace some charactersMauro Carvalho Chehab
The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/html/Markdown->ReST conversion and some cut-and-pasted text contain some characters that aren't easily reachable on standard keyboards and/or could cause troubles when parsed by the documentation build system. Replace the occurences of the following characters: - U+2217 ('∗'): ASTERISK OPERATOR use ASCII asterisk instead of the ASTERISK OPERATOR Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Acked-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/c5c3c384c48779ca7c9dcd90183cefe20ac82928.1623826294.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2019-08-22ext4: documentation fixesAyush Ranjan
This commit aims to fix the following issues in ext4 documentation: - Flexible block group docs said that the aim was to group block metadata together instead of block group metadata. - The documentation consistly uses "location" instead of "block number". It is easy to confuse location to be an absolute offset on disk. Added a line to clarify all location values are in terms of block numbers. - Dirent2 docs said that the rec_len field is shortened instead of the name_len field. - Typo in bg_checksum description. - Inode size is 160 bytes now, and hence i_extra_isize is now 32. - Cluster size formula was incorrect, it did not include the +10 to s_log_cluster_size value. - Typo: there were two s_wtime_hi in the superblock struct. - Superblock struct was outdated, added the new fields which were part of s_reserved earlier. - Multiple mount protection seems to be implemented in fs/ext4/mmp.c.
