The ipmb file was added twice at index.rst.

sysfs-pci and sysfs-tagging were mis-filed: their locations within Documentation/ implied that they were related to file systems. Actually, each topic is about a very specific *use* of sysfs, and sysfs *happens* to be a (virtual) filesystem, so this is not really the right place. It's jarring to be reading about filesystems in general and then come across these specific details about PCI, and tagging...and then back to general filesystems again. Move sysfs-pci to PCI, and move sysfs-tagging to networking. (Thanks to Jonathan Corbet for coming up with the final locations.) Signed-off-by:

There are behavioural requirements on the seq_file next() function in terms of how it updates *pos at end-of-file, and these are now enforced by a warning. I was recently attempting to justify the reason this was needed, and couldn't remember the details, and didn't find them in the documentation. So I re-read the code until I understood it again, and updated the documentation to match. I also enhanced the text about SEQ_START_TOKEN as it seemed potentially misleading.

The command-line parameters "dyndbg" and "async_probe" are not parameters for kernel/module.c but instead they are for the module that is being loaded. Try to make that distinction in the help text. OTOH, "module.sig_enforce" is handled as a parameter of kernel/module.c so "module." is correct for it. Signed-off-by:

Cross-referencing to other documentation pages is possible using the :doc:`doc-file` directive from Sphinx. Add automatic markup for references to other documentation pages in the format Documentation/subfolder/doc-file.rst (the extension being optional). This requires that the path be passed all the way from the Documentation folder, which can be longer than passing a relative path through the :doc: directive, but avoids the markup, making the text cleaner when read in plain text.
