Daniel Borkmann says: ==================== Managed Neighbor Entries This series adds a couple of fixes related to NTF_EXT_LEARNED and NTF_USE neighbor flags, extends the UAPI with a new NDA_FLAGS_EXT netlink attribute in order to be able to add new neighbor flags from user space given all current struct ndmsg / ndm_flags bits are used up. Finally, the core of this series adds a new NTF_EXT_MANAGED flag to neighbors, which allows user space control planes to add 'managed' neighbor entries. Meaning, user space may either transition existing entries or can push down new L3 entries without lladdr into the kernel where the latter will periodically try to keep such NTF_EXT_MANAGED managed entries in reachable state. Main use case for this series are XDP / tc BPF load-balancers which make use of the bpf_fib_lookup() helper for backends. For more details, please see individual patches. Thanks! ==================== 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.
