When a sequence of numbers are needed for internal-use only, an enum is typically best. The sequence will inevitably need to be changed one day, and having an enum means the developer doesn't need to think about renumbering after insertion or deletion. Such patches will be easier to review. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
