I just noticed there's already a patch going into 5.7 through the docs tree
(https://lkml.kernel.org/lkml/20200329172713.206afe79@lwn.net/) that creates the
documentation for this sysctl:
commit 0317c5371e6a9b71a2e25b47013dd5c62d55d1a6
Author: Stephen Kitt <steve@sk2.org>
Date: Tue Feb 18 13:59:17 2020 +0100
docs: merge debugging-modules.txt into sysctl/kernel.rst
It looks for -mm, you resolved the conflict by changing my patch to add the
documentation to a different location in the file. But that's not correct as it
results in this sysctl being documented twice.
Perhaps just drop this patch for now, but keep patches 1-2 and 4-5? I can
rebase and resend this documentation patch later.
