* docs: net: Convert netdev-FAQ to restructured textTobin C. Harding2018-07-261-244/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Preferred kernel docs format is now restructured text. Convert netdev-FAQ.txt to restructured text. - Add SPDX license identifier. - Change file heading 'Information you need to know about netdev' to 'netdev FAQ' to better suit displayed index (in HTML). - Change question/answer layout to suit rst. Copy format in Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst - Fix indentation of code snippets - If multiple consecutive URLs appear put them in a list (to maintain whitespace). - Use uniform spelling of 'bug fix' throughout document (not bugfix or bug-fix). - Add double back ticks to 'net' and 'net-next' when referring to the trees. - Use rst references for Documentation/ links. - Add rst label 'netdev-FAQ' for referencing by other docs files. - Remove stale entry from Documentation/networking/00-INDEX Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

A collection of expectations and operational details about how networking development takes place in the context of the netdev mailing list. The content is meant to capture specific items that are unique to netdev workflow, and not re-document generic linux expectations that are already captured elsewhere. This was originally proposed[1] as a regular posting mailing list FAQ, but it probably is more universally accessible here in tree.
