Florian Westphal says: ==================== netfilter: bugfixes for net The following set contains netfilter fixes for the *net* tree. Regressions (rc only): recent ebtables crash fix was incomplete, it added a memory leak. The patch to fix possible buffer overrun for BIG TCP in ftp conntrack tried to be too clever, we cannot re-use ct->lock: NAT engine might grab it again -> deadlock. Revert back to a global spinlock. Both from myself. Remove the documentation for the recently removed 'nf_conntrack_helper' sysctl as well, from Pablo Neira. The static_branch_inc() that guards the 'chain stats enabled' path needs to be deferred further, until the entire transaction was created. From Tetsuo Handa. Older bugs: Since 5.3: nf_tables_addchain may leak pcpu memory in error path when offloading fails. Also from Tetsuo Handa. ==================== 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.
