Eric Dumazet says: ==================== net: netns refcount tracking, base series We have 100+ syzbot reports about netns being dismantled too soon, still unresolved as of today. We think a missing get_net() or an extra put_net() is the root cause. In order to find the bug(s), and be able to spot future ones, this patch adds CONFIG_NET_NS_REFCNT_TRACKER and new helpers to precisely pair all put_net() with corresponding get_net(). To use these helpers, each data structure owning a refcount should also use a "netns_tracker" to pair the get() and put(). Small sections of codes where the get()/put() are in sight do not need to have a tracker, because they are short lived, but in theory it is also possible to declare an on-stack tracker. v2: Include core networking patches only. ==================== Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211210074426.279563-1-eric.dumazet@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
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.
