[PATCH] Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst: Fix syntax error and Describe details using table
Posted by Shenghong Han 4 years ago
Some syntax errors exist in "page_owner.rst". Thanks to Akira Yokosawa and
Haowen Bai for tips to help improve the documentation.

We try to fix them. Hope that the Documentation is showed as we expect.

Hello Andrew,

In Commit 57f2b54a9379 ("Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst: update the
documentation") and Commit edc93abbcc6d ("tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c:
support sorting blocks by multiple keys"), some incorrect syntax
are used, which laeds to "build warning after merge of the mm tree".
Apologize for that!

This issue is trying to fix it.

Best,

	Shenghong Han

You *have* built the docs and know that they render as expected, right?

As I mentioned the last time I saw a version of this work, if it really
took this many people to develop this one patch, then we need signoff
lines from all of them.

So the simplest fix, of course, would be to just put some leading white
space before the "For" lines.  Then the literal block would be
syntactically correct.

This seems like rather more markup than is really needed?  What is the
point of these tags?

> +   +--------+--------------+----------------------------------------------+
> +   | KEY    | LONG         | DESCRIPTION                                  |

...and this seems over the top.  I saw a version of this that used the
simpler format:

> +	====		==========	===========
> 	KEY		LONG		DESCRIPTION
> +	====		==========	===========
> 	p		pid		process ID

That's just as easy to read and much easier to maintain, is there a
reason you moved away from it?

Thanks,
