Well, filesystems/proc.txt is somewhat more updated than sysctl/* - 2.4 vs 2.2 (sic) (and some small 2.6 updates spread in both places). However, filesystems/* should only contain IMO docs about the filesystem themselves not about the data in the filesystems, and proc.txt only documents sysctls, nothing else.
So I guess the Right Thing would be to move proc.txt to Documentation/sysctl, and use e-violence to make people update the non-documented parts ;) (And apparently there's more sysctl stuff lost in the noise like networking/ip-sysctl.txt, etc)
I'll try to move everything to sysctl/ and will post a RFC about it.
(Wouldn't have sense to have a Documentation/sysfs directory documenting the sysfs interfaces aswell?) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
