2019-07-08docs: automarkup.py: ignore exceptions when seeking for xrefsdocs-5.3Mauro Carvalho Chehab
When using the automarkup extension with: make pdfdocs without passing an specific book, the code will raise an exception: File "/devel/v4l/docs/Documentation/sphinx/automarkup.py", line 86, in auto_markup node.parent.replace(node, markup_funcs(name, app, node)) File "/devel/v4l/docs/Documentation/sphinx/automarkup.py", line 59, in markup_funcs 'function', target, pxref, lit_text) File "/devel/v4l/docs/sphinx_2.0/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sphinx/domains/c.py", line 308, in resolve_xref contnode, target) File "/devel/v4l/docs/sphinx_2.0/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sphinx/util/nodes.py", line 450, in make_refnode '#' + targetid) File "/devel/v4l/docs/sphinx_2.0/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sphinx/builders/latex/__init__.py", line 159, in get_relative_uri return self.get_target_uri(to, typ) File "/devel/v4l/docs/sphinx_2.0/lib/python3.7/site-packages/sphinx/builders/latex/__init__.py", line 152, in get_target_uri raise NoUri sphinx.environment.NoUri This happens because not all references will belong to a single PDF/LaTeX document.

2019-06-30Disable Sphinx SmartyPants in HTML outputStephen Kitt
The handling of dashes in particular results in confusing documentation in a number of instances, since "--" becomes an en-dash. This disables SmartyPants wholesale, losing smart quotes along with smart dashes. With Sphinx 1.6 we could fine-tune the conversion, using the new smartquotes and smartquotes_action settings.

2019-06-28doc: RCU callback locks need only _bh, not necessarily _irqJiunn Chang
The UP.rst file calls for locks acquired within RCU callback functions to use _irq variants (spin_lock_irqsave() or similar), which does work, but can be overkill. This commit therefore instead calls for _bh variants (spin_lock_bh() or similar), while noting that _irq does work. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

2019-06-28docs: format kernel-parameters -- as codeStephen Kitt
