Florian Westphal says: ==================== nf-next pr 2024-01-29 This batch contains updates for your *next* tree. First three changes, from Phil Sutter, allow userspace to define a table that is exclusively owned by a daemon (via netlink socket aliveness) without auto-removing this table when the userspace program exits. Such table gets marked as orphaned and a restarting management daemon may re-attach/reassume ownership. Next patch, from Pablo, passes already-validated flags variable around rather than having called code re-fetch it from netlnik message. Patches 5 and 6 update ipvs and nf_conncount to use the recently introduced KMEM_CACHE() macro. Last three patches, from myself, tweak kconfig logic a little to permit a kernel configuration that can run iptables-over-nftables but not classic (setsockopt) iptables. Such builds lack the builtin-filter/mangle/raw/nat/security tables, the set/getsockopt interface and the "old blob format" interpreter/traverser. For now, this is 'oldconfig friendly', users need to manually deselect existing config options for this. ==================== 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.
