These are the documentation changes for 4.10.
It's another busy cycle for the docs tree, as the sphinx conversion
continues. Highlights include:
- Further work on PDF output, which remains a bit of a pain but should be
more solid now.
- Five more DocBook template files converted to Sphinx. Only 27 to go...
Lots of plain-text files have also been converted and integrated.
- Images in binary formats have been replaced with more source-friendly
versions.
- Various bits of organizational work, including the renaming of various
files discussed at the kernel summit.
- New documentation for the device_link mechanism.
...and, of course, lots of typo fixes and small updates.

In order to use a diskless system, such as an X-terminal or printer server

for example, it is necessary for the root filesystem to be present on a

non-disk device. This may be an initramfs (see Documentation/filesystems/

ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt), a ramdisk (see Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst) or a

filesystem mounted via NFS. The following text describes on how to use NFS

for the root filesystem. For the rest of this text 'client' means the

diskless system, and 'server' means the NFS server.

- iowait: In a word, iowait stands for waiting for I/O to complete. But there
|
||||
are several problems:
|
||||
1. Cpu will not wait for I/O to complete, iowait is the time that a task is
|
||||
waiting for I/O to complete. When cpu goes into idle state for
|
||||
outstanding task io, another task will be scheduled on this CPU.
|
||||
2. In a multi-core CPU, the task waiting for I/O to complete is not running
|
||||
on any CPU, so the iowait of each CPU is difficult to calculate.
|
||||
3. The value of iowait field in /proc/stat will decrease in certain
|
||||
conditions.
|
||||
So, the iowait is not reliable by reading from /proc/stat.
