Netfilter updates for net-next
The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next:
1) Add vlan match and pop actions to the flowtable offload,
patches from wenxu.
2) Reduce size of the netns_ct structure, which itself is
embedded in struct net Make netns_ct a read-mostly structure.
Patches from Florian Westphal.
3) Add FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_UNSPEC to skip dst check from garbage
collector path, as required by the tc CT action. From Roi Dayan.
4) VLAN offload fixes for nftables: Allow for matching on both s-vlan
and c-vlan selectors. Fix match of VLAN id due to incorrect
byteorder. Add a new routine to properly populate flow dissector
ethertypes.
5) Missing keys in ip{6}_route_me_harder() results in incorrect
routes. This includes an update for selftest infra. Patches
from Ido Schimmel.
6) Add counter hardware offload support through FLOW_CLS_STATS.

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.
