Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter updates for net-next The following series contains Netfilter updates for net-next: 1) Make legacy xtables configs user selectable, from Breno Leitao. 2) Fix a few sparse warnings related to percpu, from Uros Bizjak. 3) Use strscpy_pad, from Justin Stitt. 4) Use nft_trans_elem_alloc() in catchall flush, from Florian Westphal. 5) A series of 7 patches to fix false positive with CONFIG_RCU_LIST=y. Florian also sees possible issue with 10 while module load/removal when requesting an expression that is available via module. As for patch 11, object is being updated so reference on the module already exists so I don't see any real issue. Florian says: "Unfortunately there are many more errors, and not all are false positives. First patches pass lockdep_commit_lock_is_held() to the rcu list traversal macro so that those splats are avoided. The last two patches are real code change as opposed to 'pass the transaction mutex to relax rcu check': Those two lists are not protected by transaction mutex so could be altered in parallel. This targets nf-next because these are long-standing issues." netfilter pull request 24-11-07 * tag 'nf-next-24-11-07' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netfilter/nf-next: netfilter: nf_tables: must hold rcu read lock while iterating object type list netfilter: nf_tables: must hold rcu read lock while iterating expression type list netfilter: nf_tables: avoid false-positive lockdep splats with basechain hook netfilter: nf_tables: avoid false-positive lockdep splats in set walker netfilter: nf_tables: avoid false-positive lockdep splats with flowtables netfilter: nf_tables: avoid false-positive lockdep splats with sets netfilter: nf_tables: avoid false-positive lockdep splat on rule deletion netfilter: nf_tables: prefer nft_trans_elem_alloc helper netfilter: nf_tables: replace deprecated strncpy with strscpy_pad netfilter: nf_tables: Fix percpu address space issues in nf_tables_api.c netfilter: Make legacy configs user selectable ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20241106234625.168468-1-pablo@netfilter.org Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com>
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 reStructuredText 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.
