Documentation: document hung_task_panic kernel parameter (2018-05-29 06:46:04 -0600)
----------------------------------------------------------------
There's been a fair amount of work in the docs tree this time around,
including:
- Extensive RST conversions and organizational work in the
memory-management docs thanks to Mike Rapoport.
- An update of Documentation/features from Andrea Parri and a script to
keep it updated.
- Various LICENSES updates from Thomas, along with a script to check SPDX
tags.
- Work to fix dangling references to documentation files; this involved a
fair number of one-liner comment changes outside of Documentation/
...and the usual list of documentation improvements, typo fixes, etc.
The comment changes led inevitably to a couple of minor merge conflicts
with fairly obvious resolutions.
Mauro has another big set of dangling-reference fixes treewide that I've
held back thus far; you may see that as an end-of-window request in the
hope of minimizing the obnoxiousness for others.
