Subject: [PATCH v3] docs: Use make invocation's -j argument for parallelism
Message-ID: <201909241627.CEA19509@keescook>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Disposition: inline
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

While sphinx 1.7 and later supports "-jauto" for parallelism, this
effectively ignores the "-j" flag used in the "make" invocation, which
may cause confusion for build systems. Instead, extract the available
parallelism from "make"'s job server (since it is not exposed in any
special variables) and use that for the "sphinx-build" run. Now things
work correctly for builds where -j is specified at the top-level:

	make -j16 htmldocs

If -j is not specified, continue to fallback to "-jauto" if available.

v3: python2, specific exceptions, correct SPDX, blocking writer
v2: retain "-jauto" default behavior with top-level -j is missing.
