Sphinx 2.1 moved sphinx.environment.NoUri into sphinx.errors; that produced this warning in the docs build: /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sphinx/registry.py:473: RemovedInSphinx30Warning: sphinx.environment.NoUri is deprecated. Grab NoUri from the right place and make the warning go away. That symbol was only added to sphinx.errors in 2.1, so we must still import it from the old location when running in older versions.

The example given in asm-annotations.rst to describe the constraints that a function should meet in order to be annotated with a SYM_FUNC_* macro is x86-specific, and not necessarily applicable to architectures using branch-and-link style calling conventions such as arm64. Tweak the example text to call out the x86-specific text.

Daniel W. S. Almeida writes: This series converts a few docs in Documentation/filesystems/nfs to RST. The docs were also moved into admin-guide because they contain information that might be useful for system administrators Most changes are related to aesthetics and presentation, i.e. the content itself remains mostly untouched. The use of markup was limited in order not to negatively impact the plain-text reading experience.

This patch converts nfs.txt to RST. It also moves it to admin-guide. The reason for moving it is because this document contains information useful for system administrators, as noted on the following paragraph: 'The purpose of this document is to provide information on some of the special features of the NFS client that can be configured by system administrators'.

As suggested by Paul, I got a review from another Korean hacker Yunjae. From the review, I got not only 'Reviewed-by:' tags, but also found a few minor nits. So I made a second version of the patchset but just realized that the first version has already sent to Linus. I therefore send only the nit fixes as another patch. ----------------------------- >8 ---------------------------------------- docs/memory-barriers.txt.kokr: Minor wordsmith This commit fixes a couple of minor nits in the Korean translation of 'memory-barriers.txt'.

Pull rdma fixes from Doug Ledford: "A small collection of -rc fixes. Mostly. One API addition, but that's because we wanted to use it in a fix. There's also a bug fix that is going to render the 5.5 kernel's soft-RoCE driver incompatible with all soft-RoCE versions prior, but it's required to actually implement the protocol according to the RoCE spec and required in order for the soft-RoCE driver to be able to successfully work with actual RoCE hardware. Summary: - Update Steve Wise info - Fix for soft-RoCE crc calculations (will break back compatibility, but only with the soft-RoCE driver, which has had this bug since it was introduced and it is an on-the-wire bug, but will make soft-RoCE fully compatible with real RoCE hardware) - cma init fixup - counters oops fix - fix for mlx4 init/teardown sequence - fix for mkx5 steering rules - introduce a cleanup API, which isn't a fix, but we want to use it in the next fix - fix for mlx5 memory management that uses API in previous patch" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rdma/rdma: IB/mlx5: Fix device memory flows IB/core: Introduce rdma_user_mmap_entry_insert_range() API IB/mlx5: Fix steering rule of drop and count IB/mlx4: Follow mirror sequence of device add during device removal RDMA/counter: Prevent auto-binding a QP which are not tracked with res rxe: correctly calculate iCRC for unaligned payloads Update mailmap info for Steve Wise RDMA/cma: add missed unregister_pernet_subsys in init failure

Pull ksys_mount() and ksys_dup() removal from Dominik Brodowski: "This small series replaces all in-kernel calls to the userspace-focused ksys_mount() and ksys_dup() with calls to kernel-centric functions: For each replacement of ksys_mount() with do_mount(), one needs to verify that the first and third parameter (char *dev_name, char *type) are strings allocated in kernelspace and that the fifth parameter (void *data) is either NULL or refers to a full page (only occurence in init/do_mounts.c::do_mount_root()). The second and fourth parameters (char *dir_name, unsigned long flags) are passed by ksys_mount() to do_mount() unchanged, and therefore do not require particular care. Moreover, instead of pretending to be userspace, the opening of /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr can be implemented using in-kernel functions as well. Thereby, ksys_dup() can be removed for good" [ This doesn't get rid of the special "kernel init runs with KERNEL_DS" case, but it at least removes _some_ of the users of "treat kernel pointers as user pointers for our magical init sequence". One day we'll hopefully be rid of it all, and can initialize our init_thread addr_limit to USER_DS. - Linus ] * 'remove-ksys-mount-dup' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/linux: fs: remove ksys_dup() init: unify opening /dev/console as stdin/stdout/stderr init: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount() initrd: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount() devtmpfs: use do_mount() instead of ksys_mount()
