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/kernel/kexec/*
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description:
+ The /sys/kernel/kexec/* directory contains sysfs files
+ that provide information about the configuration status
+ of kexec and kdump.
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/loaded
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read only
+ Indicates whether a new kernel image has been loaded
+ into memory using the kexec system call. It shows 1 if
+ a kexec image is present and ready to boot, or 0 if none
+ is loaded.
+User: kexec tools, kdump service
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_loaded
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read only
+ Indicates whether a crash (kdump) kernel is currently
+ loaded into memory. It shows 1 if a crash kernel has been
+ successfully loaded for panic handling, or 0 if no crash
+ kernel is present.
+User: Kexec tools, Kdump service
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_size
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read/write
+ Shows the amount of memory reserved for loading the crash
+ (kdump) kernel. It reports the size, in bytes, of the
+ crash kernel area defined by the crashkernel= parameter.
+ This interface also allows reducing the crashkernel
+ reservation by writing a smaller value, and the reclaimed
+ space is added back to the system RAM.
+User: Kdump service
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_elfcorehdr_size
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read only
+ Indicates the preferred size of the memory buffer for the
+ ELF core header used by the crash (kdump) kernel. It defines
+ how much space is needed to hold metadata about the crashed
+ system, including CPU and memory information. This information
+ is used by the user space utility kexec to support updating the
+ in-kernel kdump image during hotplug operations.
+User: Kexec tools
+
+What: /sys/kernel/kexec/crash_cma_ranges
+Date: Nov 2025
+Contact: kexec@lists.infradead.org
+Description: read only
+ Provides information about the memory ranges reserved from
+ the Contiguous Memory Allocator (CMA) area that are allocated
+ to the crash (kdump) kernel. It lists the start and end physical
+ addresses of CMA regions assigned for crashkernel use.
