Hi all,

After merging the mm-hotfixes tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs)
produced this warning:

Documentation/filesystems/tmpfs.rst:116: ERROR: Malformed table.
Text in column margin in table line 4.

===========  ==============================================================
huge=never   Do not allocate huge pages.  This is the default.
huge=always  Attempt to allocate huge page every time a new page is needed.
huge=within_size Only allocate huge page if it will be fully within i_size.
             Also respect madvise(2) hints.
huge=advise  Only allocate huge page if requested with madvise(2).
===========  ==============================================================

Introduced by commit

  a0ebb5aa2de3 ("tmpfs: fix Documentation of noswap and huge mount options")

Sorry about that, Stephen: thanks for the report.

Randy, you're always my goto guy for how to get these Doc things right,
I hope you don't mind.  I just write the text as I want it to appear,
then get caught out by unfamiliar rules.

Please suggest a fixup to the fix patch if you can - thanks!

Hugh

OK, so the above two warnings went away, but now I get

lib/bootconfig.c:909: warning: expecting prototype for _xbc_exit(). Prototype was for xbc_exit() instead

Commit

  aaeda6237dec ("bootconfig: use memblock_free_late to free xbc memory to buddy")

that was in the mm tree yesterday is not there now.
