ata: libata-scsi: fix ata_dsm_trim_pages() kernel-docgrafted
make htmldocs fails with: Documentation/driver-api/libata:604: ./drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c:2301: ERROR: Unexpected indentation. [docutils] The Return: section of ata_dsm_trim_pages() ends its first sentence with a colon and continues with an indented bullet list. reStructuredText requires a blank line before an indented block, so docutils chokes on the list. Simply adding the missing blank line does not work either: Return: is a kernel-doc "special section", which is terminated by the first blank line, so the bullet list would end up in the Description section, detached from the sentence introducing it. Spell the two bounds out as prose instead, so that the Return: section stays self-contained. Documentation-only change. Fixes: e64e6b5dc867 ("ata: libata-scsi: scale DSM TRIM payload by MAX PAGES PER DSM COMMAND") Reported-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-ide/b0a0b8e8-cc4f-4c7b-8bc5-fee0712d405a@redhat.com/ Reviewed-by: Damien Le Moal <dlemoal@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20260916130031.29990-2-cassel@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Niklas Cassel <cassel@kernel.org>

+What: /sys/class/ata_*
+Description:
+ Provide a place in sysfs for storing the ATA topology of the
+ system. This allows retrieving various information about ATA
+ objects.
+
+Files under /sys/class/ata_port
+-------------------------------
+
+For each port, a directory ataX is created where X is the ata_port_id of the
+port. The device parent is the ata host device.
+
+
+What: /sys/class/ata_port/ataX/nr_pmp_links
+What: /sys/class/ata_port/ataX/idle_irq
+Date: May, 2010
+KernelVersion: v2.6.37
+Contact: Gwendal Grignou <gwendal@chromium.org>
+Description:
+ nr_pmp_links: (RO) If a SATA Port Multiplier (PM) is
+ connected, the number of links behind it.
+
+ idle_irq: (RO) Number of IRQ received by the port while
+ idle [some ata HBA only].
+
+
+What: /sys/class/ata_port/ataX/port_no
+Date: May, 2013
+KernelVersion: v3.11
+Contact: Gwendal Grignou <gwendal@chromium.org>
+Description:
+ (RO) Host local port number. While registering host controller,
+ port numbers are tracked based upon number of ports available on
+ the controller. This attribute is needed by udev for composing
+ persistent links in /dev/disk/by-path.
+
+Files under /sys/class/ata_link
+-------------------------------
+
+Behind each port, there is a ata_link. If there is a SATA PM in the topology, 15
+ata_link objects are created.
+
+If a link is behind a port, the directory name is linkX, where X is ata_port_id
+of the port. If a link is behind a PM, its name is linkX.Y where X is
+ata_port_id of the parent port and Y the PM port.

+Date: May, 2010
+KernelVersion: v2.6.37
+Contact: Gwendal Grignou <gwendal@chromium.org>
+Description:
+ hw_sata_spd_limit: (RO) Maximum speed supported by the
+ connected SATA device.
+
+ sata_spd_limit: (RO) Maximum speed imposed by libata.
+
+ sata_spd: (RO) Current speed of the link
+ eg. 1.5, 3 Gbps etc.
+
+
+Files under /sys/class/ata_device
+---------------------------------
+
+Behind each link, up to two ata devices are created.
+The name of the directory is devX[.Y].Z where:
+- X is ata_port_id of the port where the device is connected,
+- Y the port of the PM if any, and
+- Z the device id: for PATA, there is usually 2 devices [0,1], only 1 for SATA.

+Description:
+ spdn_cnt: (RO) Number of times libata decided to lower the
+ speed of link due to errors.

+
+ ering: (RO) Formatted output of the error ring of the
+ device.

+ described in ATA8 7.16 and 7.17. Only valid if
+ the device is not a PM.
