linux-next: build failure after merge of the device-mapper tree
Posted by Stephen Rothwell 5 months, 3 weeks ago 
Hi all,

After merging the device-mapper tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs)
failed like this:

Sphinx parallel build error:
docutils.utils.SystemMessage: Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-pcache.rst:27: (SEVERE/4) Title overline & underline mismatch.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Constructor

Caused by commit

  6fb8fbbaf147 ("dm-pcache: add persistent cache target in device-mapper")

I have applied the following fix patch for today (there may be better).

From: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2025 13:01:51 +1000
Subject: [PATCH] fix up for "dm-pcache: add persistent cache target in
 device-mapper"

Sphinx parallel build error:
docutils.utils.SystemMessage: Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-pcache.rst:27: (SEVERE/4) Title overline & underline mismatch.

Hi

I've fixed the documentation indentations and folded it into the existing
commit in the linux-dm git.

Thanks.
