Hi--

Why is "ext4" in the Subject?
Probably just drop that word?

Commit e24ccaaf7ec4 ("block: remove last remaining traces of IDE
documentation") removed the IDE section but left its table of
contents entry behind.
Fix the stale entry and renumber the following sections.

Where/how is this Table of Contents used?

But yes, the intent of the patch is good.
Thanks.

Hello, this directory contains the subsequent content of the file proc.rst.

My modification is due to a previous commit e24ccaaf7ec4 ("block: remove last remaining traces of IDE documentation")
which removed "1.3 IDE devices in /proc/ide" from the subsequent content and modified the labels of the various items.
However, this previous commit forgot to remove "1.3 IDE devices in /proc/ide" from the directory itself.
This caused a misalignment between the directory entry and the actual subsequent content items.

My modification is to remove the "1.3 IDE devices in /proc/ide" that was forgotten in the previous commit and correct the labels of the other subsequent items.

Thanks,
Baolin
