[PATCH] NFS/RDMA: Document separate Kconfig symbols

From: Paul Bolle
Date: Wed Apr 09 2014 - 10:06:04 EST


The NFS/RDMA Kconfig symbol was split into separate options for client
and server in commit 2e8c12e1b765 ("xprtrdma: add separate Kconfig
options for NFSoRDMA client and server support"). Update the
documentation to reflect this split.

0) Should Documentation/ describe the current release, or the current
and previous releases? For these paragraphs I choose only the current
release.

1) Another approach could be to not document the Kconfig setup at all,
because the Kconfig system should, in theory, provide all help needed to
correctly configure the build for (in this case) NFS/RDMA. But is that
true?

2) By the way: what's the purpose of INFINIBAND_ADDR_TRANS?
