Commit 31b24bee ("docs: add a warning to submitting-drivers.rst") in October 2016 already warns "This (...) should maybe just be deleted, but I'm not quite ready to do that yet". Maybe, six years ago, we were not ready but let us remove old content for the better now and structure and maintain less content in the kernel documentation with a better result. Drop this already outdated document and adjust all textual references. Here is an argument why deleting the content will not remove any useful information to the existing kernel documentation, individually broken down for each section. Section "Allocating Device Numbers" refers to https://www.lanana.org/, and then refers to Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst. However, the devices.rst clearly states: "The version of this document at lanana.org is no longer maintained." Everything needed for submitting drivers is already stated in devices.rst and the reference to https://www.lanana.org/ is outdated, and should be just deleted. Section "Who To Submit Drivers To" is all about Linux 2.0 - 2.6, before the new release version scheme; the mentioned developers are still around, but actually not the first developers to contact anymore. Section "What Criteria Determine Acceptance" has a few bullet points: Licensing and Copyright is well-covered in process/kernel-license.rst. Interfaces, Code, Portability, Clarity state some obvious things about ensuring kernel code quality. Control suggests to add a MAINTAINERS entry, which is already mentioned in 6.Followthrough.rst: "... added yourself to the MAINTAINERS file..." PM support states a bit about implementing and testing power management of a driver, it remains an open question where to place that in the process documents. Driver developers interested in power management will find the corresponding part on power management in the kernel documentation anyway. In section "What Criteria Do Not Determine Acceptance", the points Vendor and Author states something basic consequence of the kernel being an open-source community software development. Probably no need to mention it nowadays. Section "Resources" lists resources that are also mentioned elsewhere more central. - Linux kernel tree and mailing list is mentioned in many places. - https://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/ is mentioned in Documentation/process/kernel-docs.rst. - https://lwn.net/ is mentioned in: - Documentation/process/8.Conclusion.rst - Documentation/process/kernel-docs.rst - https://kernelnewbies.org/ is mentioned in: - Documentation/process/8.Conclusion.rst - Documentation/process/kernel-docs.rst - http://www.linux-usb.org/ is mentioned in Documentation/driver-api/usb/usb.rst - https://landley.net/kdocs/ols/2002/ols2002-pages-545-555.pdf is mentioned in Documentation/process/kernel-docs.rst - https://kernelnewbies.org/KernelJanitors is mentioned in Documentation/process/howto.rst - https://git-scm.com/ is mentioned in - Documentation/process/2.Process.rst - Documentation/process/7.AdvancedTopics.rst - Documentation/process/howto.rst Signed-off-by:

The statement that the Latex version of Linux Device List is unmaintained, must go back to some historic time where there were actually two separate document sources, one in a txt format and another in a tex format (maybe even just on lanana.org). Nowadays, html and tex are generated from the ReST document file and the statement might be confused, believing the actual generated LaTeX document from the maintained ReST document could be an unmaintained one. Remove this statement on the LaTeX version and only keep pointing out that the version on lanana.org is no longer maintained. Signed-off-by:

One section in submitting-drivers.rst was just a collection of references to other external documentation. All except the one added in this commit is already mentioned in kernel-docs or other places in the kernel documentation. Add Arjan van de Ven's article on How to NOT write kernel driver to this index of further kernel documentation. Signed-off-by:

Remove and rephrase statements that only make sense if a single author exclusively would maintain this document, but we would really want to consider this being a page maintained by the kernel community, as it is placed in the kernel repository, and let us hope that more contributors suggest some more documents. Further, do some minor word-smithing. Signed-off-by:

The original title comes from copying the content from a web page that covered various mixed computer-science material. Within the kernel documentation and its current structure, the title can be shortened. Other titles considered, but not selected were: - Index of More Kernel Documentation - Further Kernel Documentation - References to Further Kernel Documentation Shorten the title. Signed-off-by:

The documents on each section of this document are ordered by its published date, from the newest to the oldest. In the kernel-docs.rst, the references on each section of this document are intended to be ordered by its published date, from the newest to the oldest. The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide was published in 2021; so, it is placed at the top as the most recent publication after the rolling-version "Linux Kernel Mailing List Glossary" reference.

I noticed that there are some Chinese words that can be more accurate. So I fix them as follows. 首先，英文原文中的"release" 在这个语境下 是物理页面“释放”的意思，而不是“发布”。 其次，标准表的第一列和第二列， 表达的是“长短键”的意思，第一列是“短键”， 而第二列是“长键”。这样翻译或会更清晰一些。 Signed-off-by:

The automarkup code tries to look up symbols once as a function, and once as a macro. The Sphinx C domain code, though, totally ignores that distinction and will return the same results either way. So just look things up once and be done with it; the resulting output does not change, but htmldocs build time drops by about 5%. Tested-by:

The automarkup code tries to create a lot of cross-references that don't exist. Cross-reference lookups are expensive, especially in later versions of Sphinx, so there is value in avoiding unnecessary ones. Remember attempts that failed and do not retry them. This improves the htmldocs build time by 5-10% depending on the phase of the moon and other factors. Tested-by:

All extern functions of drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c are already inside the Kernel documentation, as driver-api/gpio/index.rst already includes it. Placing a kernel-doc here will only cause mess, as the same symbol will be placed on two parts of the document, causing breakages in cross-references. So, instead, add a cross-reference there. This solves those Sphinx 3.1+ warnings: .../Documentation/driver-api/hte/tegra194-hte:28: ./drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:2464: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/gpio/index:2464. .../Documentation/driver-api/hte/tegra194-hte:28: ./drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:2493: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/gpio/index:2493. .../Documentation/driver-api/hte/tegra194-hte.rst:2464: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/gpio/index:2464. .../Documentation/driver-api/hte/tegra194-hte.rst:2464: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/gpio/index:2464. .../Documentation/driver-api/hte/tegra194-hte.rst:2464: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/gpio/index:2464. .../Documentation/driver-api/hte/tegra194-hte.rst:2493: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/gpio/index:2493. .../Documentation/driver-api/hte/tegra194-hte.rst:2493: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/gpio/index:2493. .../Documentation/driver-api/hte/tegra194-hte.rst:2493: WARNING: Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/gpio/index:2493.
