Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following batch contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree: 1) Simplify log infrastructure modularity: Merge ipv4, ipv6, bridge, netdev and ARP families to nf_log_syslog.c. Add module softdeps. This fixes a rare deadlock condition that might occur when log module autoload is required. From Florian Westphal. 2) Moves part of netfilter related pernet data from struct net to net_generic() infrastructure. All of these users can be modules, so if they are not loaded there is no need to waste space. Size reduction is 7 cachelines on x86_64, also from Florian. 2) Update nftables audit support to report events once per table, to get it aligned with iptables. From Richard Guy Briggs. 3) Check for stale routes from the flowtable garbage collector path. This is fixing IPv6 which breaks due missing check for the dst_cookie. 4) Add a nfnl_fill_hdr() function to simplify netlink + nfnetlink headers setup. 5) Remove documentation on several statified functions. 6) Remove printk on netns creation for the FTP IPVS tracker, from Florian Westphal. 7) Remove unnecessary nf_tables_destroy_list_lock spinlock initialization, from Yang Yingliang. 7) Remove a duplicated forward declaration in ipset, from Wan Jiabing. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
