2011-09-27doc: fix broken referencesPaul Bolle
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
2007-07-10[PATCH] configfs+dlm: Rename config_group_find_obj and state semantics clearlySatyam Sharma
Configfs being based upon sysfs code, config_group_find_obj() is probably so named because of the similar kset_find_obj() in sysfs. However, "kobject"s in sysfs become "config_item"s in configfs, so let's call it config_group_find_item() instead, for sake of uniformity, and make corresponding change in the users of this function. BTW a crucial difference between kset_find_obj and config_group_find_item is in locking expectations. kset_find_obj does its locking by itself, but config_group_find_item expects the *caller* to do the locking. The reason for this: kset's have their own locks, config_group's don't but instead rely on the subsystem mutex. And, subsystem needn't necessarily be around when config_group_find_item() is called. So let's state these locking semantics explicitly, and rectify the comment, otherwise bugs could continue to occur in future, as they did in the past (refer commit d82b8191e238 in gfs2-2.6-fixes.git).

2007-07-10configfs: misc cleanupsSatyam Sharma
1. item.c:config_item_cleanup() is a private function (only called by config_item_release() in same file). However, it is spuriously exported in include/linux/configfs.h, so remove that export and make it static in item.c. Also, it is no longer exported / interface function, so no need to give comment for this function (the comment was stating obvious thing, anyway). 2. Kernel-doc comment format does not allow empty line between end of comment and start of function (declaration line). There were several such spurious empty lines in item.c, so fix them. fs/configfs/item.c | 15 +++------------ include/linux/configfs.h | 1 - 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Satyam Sharma <ssatyam@cse.iitk.ac.in> Signed-off-by: Joel Becker <joel.becker@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mark.fasheh@oracle.com>
