2020-01-03Documentation: document ioctl interfaces betterArnd Bergmann
Documentation/process/botching-up-ioctls.rst was orignally written as a blog post for DRM driver writers, so it it misses some points while going into a lot of detail on others. Try to provide a replacement that addresses typical issues across a wider range of subsystems, and follows the style of the core-api documentation better. Many improvements to the document are suggested by Ben Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk>, Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> and Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>.
