2019-01-14docs/core-api/mm: fix GFP combinations section nameMike Rapoport
Fix the mismatch between "Useful GFP flag combinations" section naming in the DOC: section in include/linux/gfp.h and Documentation/core-api/mm-api.rst. This brings in the documentation, and eliminates one warning: ./include/linux/gfp.h:1: warning: no structured comments found Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com> [jc: tweaked changelog] Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2018-12-20docs/mm-api: link slab_common.c to "The Slab Cache" sectionMike Rapoport
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 <rppt@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2018-12-06docs/core-api: make mm-api.rst more structuredMike Rapoport
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.

2018-08-23docs/core-api: split memory management API to a separate fileMike Rapoport
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 <rppt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <willy@infradead.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
