2020-10-08docs: net: 80211: reduce docs build timeMauro Carvalho Chehab
the files under /80211 calls kernel-doc script 207 times, one for each single function and doc chapter. Due to that, it takes a lot of time handling it: $ touch Documentation/driver-api/80211/*rst && time make SPHINXDIRS=driver-api/80211 htmldocs ... real 0m22,928s user 0m21,644s sys 0m1,334s Reduce the build time by doing only one kernel-doc call per functions that belong to the same group. With that, there's now 50 calls to kernel-doc, which makes the build time for those docs 62% faster: $ touch Documentation/driver-api/80211/*rst && time make SPHINXDIRS=driver-api/80211 htmldocs ... real 0m8,666s user 0m8,084s sys 0m0,642s As a side effect, it should now be easier to add newer functions, as there's no need to repeat the kernel-doc pattern. Measurements made on a NUC8i7HNK machine with lots of ram and a fast SSD disk with Sphinx 3.2.1.

2020-03-20docs: prevent warnings due to autosectionlabelMauro Carvalho Chehab
Changeset 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") enabled a new feature at Sphinx: it will now generate index for each document title, plus to each chapter inside it. There's a drawback, though: one document cannot have two sections with the same name anymore. A followup patch will change the logic of autosectionlabel to avoid most creating references for every single section title, but still we need to be able to reference the chapters inside a document. There are a few places where there are two chapters with the same name. This patch renames one of the chapters, in order to avoid symbol conflict within the same document. PS.: as I don't speach Chinese, I had some help from a friend (Wen Liu) at the Chinese translation for "publishing patches" for this document: Documentation/translations/zh_CN/process/5.Posting.rst Fixes: 58ad30cf91f0 ("docs: fix reference to core-api/namespaces.rst") Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/2bffb91e4a63d41bf5fae1c23e1e8b3bba0b8806.1584716446.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2019-06-14mac80211: call rate_control_send_low() internallyJohannes Berg
There's no rate control algorithm that *doesn't* want to call it internally, and calling it internally will let us modify its behaviour in the future. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Put this documentation with the other driver docs and try to keep the top level reasonably clean. Cc: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
