Subject: [PATCH 0/7] memory management documentation updates

Hi,

Here are several updates to the mm documentation.

Aside from really minor changes in the first three patches, the updates
are:

* move the documentation of kstrdup and friends to "String Manipulation"
  section
* split memory management API into a separate .rst file
* adjust formating of the GFP flags description and include it in the
  reference documentation.

Mike Rapoport (7):
  mm/util: make strndup_user description a kernel-doc comment
  mm/util: add kernel-doc for kvfree
  docs/core-api: kill trailing whitespace in kernel-api.rst
  docs/core-api: move *{str,mem}dup* to "String Manipulation"
  docs/core-api: split memory management API to a separate file
  docs/mm: make GFP flags descriptions usable as kernel-doc
  docs/core-api: mm-api: add section about GFP flags
