Hi all,

After merging the device-mapper tree, today's linux-next build (htmldocs)
failed like this:

Sphinx parallel build error:
docutils.utils.SystemMessage: Documentation/admin-guide/device-mapper/dm-pcache.rst:27: (SEVERE/4) Title overline & underline mismatch.

Caused by commit

6fb8fbbaf147 ("dm-pcache: add persistent cache target in device-mapper")

I have applied the following fix patch for today (there may be better).
