* circular-buffers.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab2017-07-141-28/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - Mark titles with ReST notation; - comment the contents table; - Use :Author: tag for authorship; - mark literal blocks as such; - use valid numbered list markups; - Don't capitalize titles.

* Documentation: circular-buffers: use READ_ONCE()Mark Rutland2016-11-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While the {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() macros should be used in preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), the circular buffer documentation uses the latter exclusively. To point people in the right direction, and as a step towards the eventual removal of ACCESS_ONCE(), update the documentation to use READ_ONCE(), as ACCESS_ONCE() is only used in a reader context in the circular buffer documentation.
