My mainline commit c48a7c44a1d0 ("docs: kernel_feat.py: fix potential
command injection") contains a bug which can manifests like this when
building the documentation:
Sphinx parallel build error:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'fname' referenced before assignment
make[2]: *** [Documentation/Makefile:102: htmldocs] Error 2
However, this only appears when there exists a '.. kernel-feat::'
directive that points to a non-existent file, which isn't the case in
mainline.
When this commit was backported to stable 6.6, it didn't change
Documentation/arch/ia64/features.rst since ia64 was removed in 6.7 in
commit cf8e8658100d ("arch: Remove Itanium (IA-64) architecture"). This
lead to the build failure seen above -- but only in stable kernels.
This patch fixes the backport and should only be applied to kernels where
Documentation/arch/ia64/features.rst exists and commit c48a7c44a1d0 has
also been applied.
A second patch will follow to fix kernel_feat.py in mainline so that it
doesn't error out when the '.. kernel-feat::' directive points to a
nonexistent file.
