Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next: Patch #1 to #11 to shrink memory consumption for transaction objects: struct nft_trans_chain { /* size: 120 (-32), cachelines: 2, members: 10 */ struct nft_trans_elem { /* size: 72 (-40), cachelines: 2, members: 4 */ struct nft_trans_flowtable { /* size: 80 (-48), cachelines: 2, members: 5 */ struct nft_trans_obj { /* size: 72 (-40), cachelines: 2, members: 4 */ struct nft_trans_rule { /* size: 80 (-32), cachelines: 2, members: 6 */ struct nft_trans_set { /* size: 96 (-24), cachelines: 2, members: 8 */ struct nft_trans_table { /* size: 56 (-40), cachelines: 1, members: 2 */ struct nft_trans_elem can now be allocated from kmalloc-96 instead of kmalloc-128 slab. Series from Florian Westphal. For the record, I have mangled patch #1 to add nft_trans_container_*() and use if for every transaction object. I have also added BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure struct nft_trans always comes at the beginning of the container transaction object. And few minor cleanups, any new bugs are of my own. Patch #12 simplify check for SCTP GSO in IPVS, from Ismael Luceno. Patch #13 nf_conncount key length remains in the u32 bound, from Yunjian Wang. Patch #14 removes unnecessary check for CTA_TIMEOUT_L3PROTO when setting default conntrack timeouts via nfnetlink_cttimeout API, from Lin Ma. Patch #15 updates NFT_SECMARK_CTX_MAXLEN to 4096, SELinux could use larger secctx names than the existing 256 bytes length. Patch #16 adds a selftest to exercise nfnetlink_queue listeners leaving nfnetlink_queue, from Florian Westphal. Patch #17 increases hitcount from 255 to 65535 in xt_recent, from Phil Sutter. ==================== 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 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.
