Subject: docs: Use skiplist when checking sysctl admin-guide
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=be0aef10dca87a644affb087f01728386c19903a;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Fstable.git

docs: Use skiplist when checking sysctl admin-guide

Use a skiplist to "skip" the titles in the guide documentation
(Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/*) that are not sysctls. This will
give a more accurate account of what sysctl are miss-documented.
