From 4064174becc09a5a2385a27c8a6fd40888b0e13c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonathan Corbet Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2019 15:29:36 -0700 Subject: docs: Bring some order to filesystem documentation Documentation/filesystems is, like much of the rest of the kernel's documentation, a jumble of unorganized information. Split the documentation into categories and try to bring some order to the top-level index.rst files. No text changes other than a few section-introductory blurbs; this is all just moving stuff around.
