* Documentation: Document the blk-crypto frameworkSatya Tangirala2020-05-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The blk-crypto framework adds support for inline encryption. There are numerous changes throughout the storage stack. This patch documents the main design choices in the block layer, the API presented to users of the block layer (like fscrypt or layered devices) and the API presented to drivers for adding support for inline encryption.

* docs: add some documentation dirs to the driver-api bookMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-07-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | Those are subsystem docs, with a mix of kABI and user-faced docs. While they're not split, keep the dirs where they are, adding just a pointer to the main index. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
* docs: block: convert to ReSTMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-07-151-0/+25
Rename the block documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+samsung@kernel.org>
