Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter updates for net-next: 1) Add nfgenmsg field to nfnetlink's struct nfnl_info and use it. 2) Remove nft_ctx_init_from_elemattr() and nft_ctx_init_from_setattr() helper functions. 3) Add the nf_ct_pernet() helper function to fetch the conntrack pernetns data area. 4) Expose TCP and UDP flowtable offload timeouts through sysctl, from Oz Shlomo. 5) Add nfnetlink_hook subsystem to fetch the netfilter hook pipeline configuration, from Florian Westphal. This also includes a new field to annotate the hook type as metadata. 6) Fix unsafe memory access to non-linear skbuff in the new SCTP chunk support for nft_exthdr, from Phil Sutter. ==================== 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.
