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>

+
+Options for the ipv6 module are supplied as parameters at load time.
+
+Module options may be given as command line arguments to the insmod
+or modprobe command, but are usually specified in either
+``/etc/modules.d/*.conf`` configuration files, or in a distro-specific
+configuration file.
+
+The available ipv6 module parameters are listed below. If a parameter
+is not specified the default value is used.
+
+The parameters are as follows:
+
+disable
+
+ Specifies whether to load the IPv6 module, but disable all
+ its functionality. This might be used when another module
+ has a dependency on the IPv6 module being loaded, but no
+ IPv6 addresses or operations are desired.
+
+ The possible values and their effects are:
+
+ 0
+ IPv6 is enabled.
+
+ This is the default value.
+
+ 1
+ IPv6 is disabled.
+
+ No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces, and
+ it will not be possible to open an IPv6 socket.
+
+ A reboot is required to enable IPv6.
+
+autoconf
+
+ Specifies whether to enable IPv6 address autoconfiguration
+ on all interfaces. This might be used when one does not wish
+ for addresses to be automatically generated from prefixes
+ received in Router Advertisements.
+
+ The possible values and their effects are:
+
+ 0
+ IPv6 address autoconfiguration is disabled on all interfaces.
+
+ Only the IPv6 loopback address (::1) and link-local addresses
+ will be added to interfaces.
+
+ 1
+ IPv6 address autoconfiguration is enabled on all interfaces.
+
+ This is the default value.
+
+disable_ipv6
+
+ Specifies whether to disable IPv6 on all interfaces.
+ This might be used when no IPv6 addresses are desired.
+
+ The possible values and their effects are:
+
+ 0
+ IPv6 is enabled on all interfaces.
+
+ This is the default value.
+
+ 1
+ IPv6 is disabled on all interfaces.
+
+ No IPv6 addresses will be added to interfaces.
