The best is to highlight what really matters: the member name.

**Members**

Also, as the type is not part of LaTeX "item[]", LaTeX will split it into
multiple lines, if needed.

So, both LaTeX/PDF and HTML outputs will look good.

It should be noticed, however, that the way Sphinx LaTeX output handles
things like:

those warnings (e.g. ioctl) with::

``nitpick_ignore`` [1].

With this change all the ".. cpp:function:: int ioctl(..)" descriptions
(found in the media book) can be migrated to ".. c:function:: int
ioctl(..)", without getting any warnings. E.g.::

  .. c:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct cec_event *argp )

The main effect, is that we get those *CPP-types* back into Sphinx's C-

when we refer a function like the ioctl.

Subject: [PATCH] Update the maximum depth of C-state from 6 to 9
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Currently, CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX has been defined as 10 in the cpuidle head file,
and max_cstate = CPUIDLE_STATE_MAX – 1, so 9 is the right maximum depth of C-state.
This change is reflected in one place of the kernel-param file,
but not in the other place where I suggest changing.

  experimental feature and that it may eat data (as we do with all new
  on-disk features until they stabilise).  We have not released
  userspace suport for it yet - userspace support currently requires
  download from Darrick's xfsprogs repo and build from source, so the
  access to this feature is really developer/tester only at this point.
  Initial userspace support will be released at the same time kernel
  with this code in it is released.

  The new rmap enabled code regresses 3 xfstests - all are ENOSPC
  related corner cases, one of which Darrick posted a fix for a few
  hours ago.  The other two are fixed by infrastructure that is part of
  the upcoming reflink patchset.  This new ENOSPC infrastructure
  requires a on-disk format tweak required to keep mount times in
  check - we need to keep an on-disk count of allocated rmapbt blocks so
  we don't have to scan the entire btrees at mount time to count them.

  This is currently being tested and will be part of the fixes sent in
  the next week or two so users will not be exposed to this change"
