Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net (v2) The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net: 1) Move back the defrag users fields to the global netns_nf area. Kernel fails to boot if conntrack is builtin and kernel is booted with: nf_conntrack.enable_hooks=1. From Florian Westphal. 2) Rule event notification is missing relevant context such as the position handle and the NLM_F_APPEND flag. 3) Rule replacement is expanded to add + delete using the existing rule handle, reverse order of this operation so it makes sense from rule notification standpoint. 4) Propagate to userspace the NLM_F_CREATE and NLM_F_EXCL flags from the rule notification path. Patches #2, #3 and #4 are used by 'nft monitor' and 'iptables-monitor' userspace utilities which are not correctly representing the following operations through netlink notifications: - rule insertions - rule addition/insertion from position handle - create table/chain/set/map/flowtable/... ==================== 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.
