doc: fix broken references

2011-09-27T16:08:04Z

There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina

Documentation: update cgroupfs mount point

2011-06-16T04:52:50Z

According to commit 676db4af0430 ("cgroupfs: create /sys/fs/cgroup to mount cgroupfs on") the canonical mountpoint for the cgroup filesystem is /sys/fs/cgroup. Hence, this should be used in the documentation. Signed-off-by: Jörg Sommer Acked-by: Paul Menage Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

mm/fs: cleancache documentation

2011-05-26T16:00:56Z

This patchset introduces cleancache, an optional new feature exposed by the VFS layer that potentially dramatically increases page cache effectiveness for many workloads in many environments at a negligible cost. It does this by providing an interface to transcendent memory, which is memory/storage that is not otherwise visible to and/or directly addressable by the kernel. Instead of being discarded, hooks in the reclaim code "put" clean pages to cleancache. Filesystems that "opt-in" may "get" pages from cleancache that were previously put, but pages in cleancache are "ephemeral", meaning they may disappear at any time. And the size of cleancache is entirely dynamic and unknowable to the kernel. Filesystems currently supported by this patchset include ext3, ext4, btrfs, and ocfs2. Other filesystems (especially those built entirely on VFS) should be easy to add, but should first be thoroughly tested to ensure coherency. Details and a FAQ are provided in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt This first patch of eight in this cleancache series only adds two new documentation files.
