The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next, they are:
1) Incorrect uapi header comment in bitwise, from Jeremy Sowden.
2) Fetch flow statistics if flow is still active.
3) Restrict flow matching on hardware based on input device.
4) Add nf_flow_offload_work_alloc() helper function.
5) Remove the last client of the FLOW_OFFLOAD_DYING flag, use teardown
instead.
6) Use atomic bitwise operation to operate with flow flags.
7) Add nf_flowtable_hw_offload() helper function to check for the
NF_FLOWTABLE_HW_OFFLOAD flag.
8) Add NF_FLOW_HW_REFRESH to retry hardware offload from the flowtable
software datapath.
9) Remove indirect calls in xt_hashlimit, from Florian Westphal.
10) Add nf_flow_offload_tuple() helper to consolidate code.

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.
