docs: Bring some order to filesystem documentation Documentation/filesystems is, like much of the rest of the kernel's documentation, a jumble of unorganized information. Split the documentation into categories and try to bring some order to the top-level index.rst files. No text changes other than a few section-introductory blurbs; this is all just moving stuff around.

This under-development manual will, some glorious day, provide
comprehensive information on how the Linux virtual filesystem (VFS) layer
works, along with the filesystems that sit below it. For now, what we have
can be found below.

docs: filesystems: vfs: Convert vfs.txt to RST vfs.txt is currently stale. If we convert it to RST this is a good first step in the process of getting the VFS documentation up to date. This patch does the following (all as a single patch so as not to introduce any new SPHINX build warnings) - Use '.. code-block:: c' for C code blocks and indent the code blocks. - Use double backticks for struct member descriptions. - Fix a couple of build warnings by guarding pointers (*) with double backticks .e.g ``*ptr``. - Add vfs to Documentation/filesystems/index.rst The member descriptions paragraph indentation was not touched. It is not pretty but these do not cause build warnings. These descriptions all need updating anyways so leave it as it is for now. Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

docs: fs: convert porting to ReST This file has its own proper style, except that, after a while, the coding style gets violated and whitespaces are placed on different ways. As Sphinx and ReST are very sentitive to whitespace differences, I had to opt if each entry after required/mandatory/... fields should start with zero spaces or with a tab. I opted to start them all from the zero position, in order to avoid needing to break lines with more than 80 columns, with would make harder for review. Most of the other changes at porting.rst were made to use an unified notation with works nice as a text file while also produce a good html output after being parsed.

Documentation for the support code within the filesystem layer for use in
filesystem implementations.
fscrypt: add a documentation file for filesystem-level encryption Perhaps long overdue, add a documentation file for filesystem-level encryption, a.k.a. fscrypt or fs/crypto/, to the Documentation directory. The new file is based loosely on the latest version of the "EXT4 Encryption Design Document (public version)" Google Doc, but with many improvements made, including: - Reflect the reality that it is not specific to ext4 anymore. - More thoroughly document the design and user-visible API/behavior. - Replace outdated information, such as the outdated explanation of how encrypted filenames are hashed for indexed directories and how encrypted filenames are presented to userspace without the key. (This was changed just before release.) For now the focus is on the design and user-visible API/behavior, not on how to add encryption support to a filesystem --- since the internal API is still pretty messy and any standalone documentation for it would become outdated as things get refactored over time.
