Provide documentation of the kernel-doc documentation conventions oriented
to kernel hackers.Since I figure that there will be more people reading this
kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file who are kernel developers focused on the
rest of the kernel, than there will be readers of this file who are
documentation developers extracting that embedded kernel-doc
documentation, I have taken the liberty of making the new section added
here:How to format kernel-doc comments
the first section of the kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.
This first section is intended to introduce, motivate and provide basic
usage of the kernel-doc mechanism for kernel hackers developing other
portions of the kernel.Signed-off-by: Paul Jackson

I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when
they are available; I believe this is necessary for filesystem
integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage.An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery-
backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...)
can always turn it back off again.SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now.
Also document the mount option while we're at it.

Fuse allocates a separate bdi for each filesystem, and registers them
in sysfs with "MAJOR:MINOR" of sb->s_dev (st_dev). This works fine for
anon devices normally used by fuse, but can conflict with an already
registered BDI for "fuseblk" filesystems, where sb->s_dev represents a
real block device. In particularl this happens if a non-partitioned
device is being mounted.Fix by registering with a different name for "fuseblk" filesystems.

Improve the smbus-protocol documentation file somewhat:
- Use the names of the SMBus protocol operations (from the 2.0
specification), not made-up-for-Linux names.- Add the name of the call used to execute each operation ... and
point out that there are mismatches, where functions execute
different protocol operations than their names specify.The most confusing examples are that "Read Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_read_byte(), and that "Write Byte" isn't executed by
i2c_smbus_write_byte(). When coding, that's not as bad as it may
seem; but that case would seem to be worth fixing.Signed-off-by: David Brownell
