Christoph Hellwig says: ==================== remove most callers of kernel_setsockopt v3 this series removes most callers of the kernel_setsockopt functions, and instead switches their users to small functions that implement setting a sockopt directly using a normal kernel function call with type safety and all the other benefits of not having a function call. In some cases these functions seem pretty heavy handed as they do a lock_sock even for just setting a single variable, but this mirrors the real setsockopt implementation unlike a few drivers that just set set the fields directly. Changes since v2: - drop the separately merged kernel_getopt_removal - drop the sctp patches, as there is conflicting cleanup going on - add an additional ACK for the rxrpc changes Changes since v1: - use ->getname for sctp sockets in dlm - add a new ->bind_add struct proto method for dlm/sctp - switch the ipv6 and remaining sctp helpers to inline function so that the ipv6 and sctp modules are not pulled in by any module that could potentially use ipv6 or sctp connections - remove arguments to various sock_* helpers that are always used with the same constant arguments ==================== 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.
