John Hubbard [Fri, 9 Oct 2020 07:01:28 +0000 (00:01 -0700)]
Documentation: better locations for sysfs-pci, sysfs-tagging

sysfs-pci and sysfs-tagging were mis-filed: their locations within
Documentation/ implied that they were related to file systems. Actually,
each topic is about a very specific *use* of sysfs, and sysfs *happens*
to be a (virtual) filesystem, so this is not really the right place.

It's jarring to be reading about filesystems in general and then come
across these specific details about PCI, and tagging...and then back to
general filesystems again.

Move sysfs-pci to PCI, and move sysfs-tagging to networking. (Thanks to
Jonathan Corbet for coming up with the final locations.)

kernel-doc: add support for ____cacheline_aligned attribute

Subroutine dump_struct uses type attributes to check if the struct
syntax is valid. Then, it removes all attributes before using it for
output. `____cacheline_aligned` is an attribute that is
not included in both steps. Add it, since it is used by kernel structs.

Based on previous patch to add ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp.
Motivated by patches to reorder this attribute to before the
variable name.   Whilst we could do that in all cases, that would
be a massive change and it is more common in the kernel to place
this particular attribute after the variable name. A quick grep
suggests approximately 400 instances of which 341 have this
attribute just before a semicolon and hence after the variable name.

Documentation: clarify driver licensing rules

Greg has challenged some recent driver submitters on their license
choices. He was correct to do so, as the choices in these instances
did not always advance the aims of the submitters.

But, this left submitters (and the folks who help them pick licenses)
a bit confused. They have read things like
Documentation/process/license-rules.rst which says:

individual source files can have a different license
which is required to be compatible with the GPL-2.0

and Documentation/process/submitting-drivers.rst:

We don't insist on any kind of exclusive GPL licensing,
and if you wish ... you may well wish to release under
multiple licenses.

As written, these appear a _bit_ more laissez faire than we've been in
practice lately. It sounds like we at least expect submitters to make
a well-reasoned license choice and to explain their rationale. It does
not appear that we blindly accept anything that is simply
GPLv2-compatible.

Drivers appear to be the most acute source of misunderstanding, so fix
the driver documentation first. Update it to clarify expectations.

poll driven retry.

Add io_poll_get_double() that returns the double poll waitqueue, if any,
and io_poll_get_single() that returns the original poll waitqueue. With
that, remove the argument to io_poll_remove_double().

Finally ensure that wait->private is cleared once the double poll handler
