Documentation: remove nonexistent magic numbers
The entire file blames back to the start of git (minus whitespace from the RST translation and a typo fix): * there are changelog comments for March 1994 through to Linux 2.5.74 * struct tty_ldisc is two pointers nowadays, so naturally no magic * GDA_MAGIC is defined but unused, and it's been this way since start-of-git * M3_CARD_MAGIC isn't defined, because commit d56b9b9c ("[PATCH] The scheduled removal of some OSS drivers") removed the entire driver in 2006 * CS_CARD_MAGIC likewise since commit b5d425c9 ("more scheduled OSS driver removal") in 2007 * KMALLOC_MAGIC and VMALLOC_MAGIC were removed in commit e38e0cfa ("[ALSA] Remove kmalloc wrappers"), six months after start of git * SLAB_C_MAGIC has never even appeared in git (removed in 2.4.0-test3pre6) magic-number.rst is a low-value historial relic at best and misleading cruft at worst, so start with cleaning out ones that only appear therein Automated: grep MAGIC Documentation/process/magic-number.rst | while read -r mag _; do git grep -wF "$mag" | grep -vq '^Documentation.*magic-number.rst:' || sed -i "/^$mag/d" \ Documentation/{,translations/{zh_CN,zh_TW,it_IT}/}process/magic-number.rst done Signed-off-by: Ahelenia Ziemiańska <nabijaczleweli@nabijaczleweli.xyz> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/8389a7b85b5c660c6891b1740b5dacc53491a41b.1663280877.git.nabijaczleweli@nabijaczleweli.xyzSigned-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
