Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter fixes for net The following patchset contains Netfilter fixes for net: 1) Use CONFIG_NF_TABLES_INET from seltests, not NF_TABLES_INET. From Naresh Kamboju. 2) Add a test to cover masquerading and redirect case, from Florian Westphal. 3) Two packets coming from the same socket may race to set up NAT, ending up with different tuples and the packet losing race being dropped. Update nf_conntrack_tuple_taken() to exercise clash resolution for this case. From Martynas Pumputis and Florian Westphal. 4) Unbind anonymous sets from the commit and abort path, this fixes a splat due to double set list removal/release in case that the transaction needs to be aborted. 5) Do not preserve original output interface for packets that are redirected in the output chain when ip6_route_me_harder() is called. Otherwise packets end up going not going to the loopback device. From Eli Cooper. 6) Fix bogus splat in nft_compat with CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y, this also simplifies the existing logic to deal with the list insertions of the xtables extensions. From Florian Westphal. Diffstat look rather larger than usual because of the new selftest, but Florian and I consider that having tests soon into the tree is good to improve coverage. If there's a different policy in this regard, please, let me know. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
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.
