  • Add tracking of REQ_OP_DISCARD ios to the partition statistics and
    append them to the various stat files in /sys as well as
    /proc/diskstats. These are tracked with the same four stats as reads
    and writes:

    Number of discard ios completed.
    Number of discard ios merged
    Number of discard sectors completed
    Milliseconds spent on discard requests

    This is done via adding a new STAT_DISCARD define to genhd.h and then
    using it to index that stat field for discard requests.

    tj: Refreshed on top of v4.17 and other previous updates.

  • Everything there that it is said for 2.6 also applies on
    current 4.x Kernels. So, update the information there.

    While here, use ``foo`` for literals.

  • Each text file under Documentation follows a different
    format. Some doesn't even have titles!

    Change its representation to follow the adopted standard,
    using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx:

    - promote main title level;
    - mark literal blocks as such;
    - Add blank lines to avoid Sphinx errors.

  • Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
    struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
    the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
    the proper type.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
