Subject: [PATCH 6.12 24/40] docs: kdoc: handle the obsolescensce of docutils.ErrorString()
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2025 15:01:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251031140044.596816599@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251031140043.939381518@linuxfoundation.org>
6.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
commit 00d95fcc4dee66dfb6980de6f2973b32f973a1eb upstream.
The ErrorString() and SafeString() docutils functions were helpers meant to
ease the handling of encodings during the Python 3 transition. There is no
real need for them after Python 3.6, and docutils 0.22 removes them,
breaking the docs build
Handle this by just injecting our own one-liner version of ErrorString(),
and removing the sole SafeString() call entirely.

[ Salvatore Bonaccorso: Backport to v6.17.y for context changes in
Documentation/sphinx/kernel_include.py with major refactorings for the v6.18
development cycle. Backport ErrorString definition as well to
Documentation/sphinx/kernel_abi.py file for 6.12.y where it is imported
from docutils before the faccc0ec64e1 ("docs: sphinx/kernel_abi: adjust
coding style") change. ]
