That seems like a fine place for it - this is an addition that, I think, a lot of people will welcome. A couple of nits, feel free to ignore them: - Do you plan to add other netlink documents to that directory in the future? If not, I'd just make a netlink.rst and not bother with the directory and index.rst. - I'm not sure that all the :c:member markup buys enough to be worth the clutter. Regardless, should it be worth something: Acked-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@xxxxxxx> Thanks for doing this; I've been meaning for years to reverse-engineer netlink and write something like this, now I don't have to :) jon
