docs: target: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rst

2019-06-14T20:31:36+00:00

Convert the TCM docs to ReST format and add them to the bookset. This has a mix of userspace-faced and Kernelspace faced docs. Still, it sounds a better candidate to be added at the kernel API set of docs. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

target: refactor init/drop_nodeacl methods

2015-05-31T05:41:51+00:00

By always allocating and adding, respectively removing and freeing the se_node_acl structure in core code we can remove tons of repeated code in the init_nodeacl and drop_nodeacl routines. Additionally this now respects the get_default_queue_depth method in this code path as well. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger
