John Fastabend says: ==================== sockmap UAPI updates and fixes This series updates sockmap UAPI, adds additional test cases and provides a couple fixes. First the UAPI changes. The original API added two sockmap specific API artifacts (a) a new map_flags field with a sockmap specific update command and (b) a new sockmap specific attach field in the attach data structure. After this series instead of attaching programs with a single command now two commands are used to attach programs to maps individually. This allows us to add new programs easily in the future and avoids any specific sockmap data structure additions. The map_flags field is also removed and instead we allow socks to be added to multiple maps that may or may not have programs attached. This allows users to decide if a sock should run a SK_SKB program type on receive based on the map it is attached to. This is a nice improvement. See patches for specific details. More test cases were added to test above changes and also stress test the interface. Finally two fixes/improvements were made. First a missing rcu section was added. Second now sockmap can build without KCM being used to trigger 'y' on CONFIG_STREAM_PARSER by selecting a new BPF config option. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
