Jani NikulaandJonathan Corbet a592a36e49 Documentation: use a source-read extension for the index link boilerplate
The root document usually has a special :ref:`genindex` link to the
generated index. This is also the case for Documentation/index.rst. The
other index.rst files deeper in the directory hierarchy usually don't.

For SPHINXDIRS builds, the root document isn't Documentation/index.rst,
but some other index.rst in the hierarchy. Currently they have a
".. only::" block to add the index link when doing SPHINXDIRS html
builds.

This is obviously very tedious and repetitive. The link is also added to
all index.rst files in the hierarchy for SPHINXDIRS builds, not just the
root document.

Put the boilerplate in a sphinx-includes/subproject-index.rst file, and
include it at the end of the root document for subproject builds in an
ad-hoc source-read extension defined in conf.py.

For now, keep having the boilerplate in translations, because this
approach currently doesn't cover translated index link headers.

Bagas SanjayaandJonathan Corbet e849217cf3 Documentation: treewide: Replace marc.info links with lore
In the past, people would link to third-party mailing list archives
(like marc.info) for any kernel-related discussions. Now that there
is lore archive under kernel.org infrastructure, replace these marc
links

Note that the only remaining marc link is "Re: Memory mapping on Cirrus
EP9315" [1] since that thread is not available at lore [2].

Kevin Paul Reddy JanagariandJonathan Corbet dd0808ab40 Added usb_string function to a namespace
with reference to WARNING:
Duplicate C declaration, also defined at driver-api/usb/gadget:804
There is a function usb_string in the file message.c,
there is also a struct usb_string in the kernel api headers.
The docs is unable to index the function as the index is occupied by struct
This fix adds messgae.c to the usb_core namespace (in docs) hence providing
usb_sting a unique index usb_core.usb_string()

Michal PecioandGreg Kroah-Hartman 9f2a3933be USB: document some API requirements on disconnection
A call to usb_set_interface() crashes if the device is deallocated
concurrently, such as due to physical removal or a serious IO error.
It could also interfere with other drivers using the device if the
current driver is unbound before the call is finished.

Document the need to delay driver unbinding until this call returns,
which solves both issues.

Document the same regarding usb_clear_halt(), which is equally known
to be routinely called by drivers.

Explicitly mention finishing pending operations in the documentation
of the driver disconnect callback.
