[PATCH net-next] selftests/net: make udpgso_bench skip unsupported testcases

by Willem de Bruijn

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb(a)google.com> Kselftest can be run against older kernels. Instead of failing hard when a feature is unsupported, return the KSFT_SKIP exit code. Specifically, do not fail hard on missing udp zerocopy. The udp gso bench test runs multiple test cases from a single script. Fail if any case fails, else return skip if any test is skipped.

[PATCH v1 06/22] docs: blockdev: convert to ReST

by Mauro Carvalho Chehab

Rename the blockdev documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. The drbd sub-directory contains some graphs and data flows. Add those too to the documentation. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
