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")

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Block and inode Bitmaps +----------------------- + +The data block bitmap tracks the usage of data blocks within the block +group. + +The inode bitmap records which entries in the inode table are in use. + +As with most bitmaps, one bit represents the usage status of one data +block or inode table entry. This implies a block group size of 8 * +number_of_bytes_in_a_logical_block. + +NOTE: If ``BLOCK_UNINIT`` is set for a given block group, various parts +of the kernel and e2fsprogs code pretends that the block bitmap contains +zeros (i.e. all blocks in the group are free). However, it is not +necessarily the case that no blocks are in use -- if ``meta_bg`` is set, +the bitmaps and group descriptor live inside the group. Unfortunately, +ext2fs_test_block_bitmap2() will return '0' for those locations, +which produces confusing debugfs output. |
