Subject: [PATCH v2 03/21] documentation, capability: fix Generic Block Device Capability

When adding documentation for blkfilter, new lines of documentation
appeared in the file include/linux/blkdev.h. To preserve the appearance
of this document, the required sections and function descriptions were
explicitly specified.

Thanks for spotting this, I think this is not related to blkfilter patch
but was already wrong/broken before and should be posted in a single
patch out of the blksnap serie (also fixing title, as reported by Bagas
Sanjaya, like "documentation: fix Generic Block Device Capability")

from a fast look seems to me should have only:

+    :DOC: genhd capability flags

and out of that looking older version of doc
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.10/block/capability.html) seems to
me that this DOC in blkdev.h need improvement as it seems to me it was
better in the past, for example also reporting the corresponding
hexadecimal value in parentheses

Hi, after a fast look to the git history the "genhd capability flags"
DOC was changed in commit 430cc5d3ab4d0ba0bd011cfbb0035e46ba92920c
(block: cleanup the GENHD_FL_* definitions) as part of
https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/ and
after that in Documentation/block/capability.rst is not possible
"decode" /sys/block/<disk>/capability reading it
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.1/block/capability.html) without
having to read also include/linux/blkdev.h code, or I'm wrong?

is correct readd the hexadecimal value from bitfield?

GENHD_FL_REMOVABLE (0x01): ...

GENHD_FL_HIDDEN (0x02): ...

GENHD_FL_NO_PART (0x04): ...

Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english
